UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW Mississippi State University (MSU) is a comprehensive land grant university of 23,000+ students and approximately 5,000 faculty and staff. The main campus is located adjacent to the community of Starkville in northeast Mississippi, with a remote campus located in Meridian with an enrollment of around 700 students. Additionally, the university operates several remote agricultural experiment stations and has an Extension office located in each of the eighty-two Mississippi counties. Additional information about MSU can be found at our website www.msstate.edu. 2. INVITATION TO SUBMIT PROPOSAL ON RFP The Mississippi State University Department of Athletics (the “Department”) is requesting proposals from a single vendor to provide the services in this RFP through one integrated software solution (a single platform or a primary platform with integrated modules). The solution must enable effective communication and coordination among authorized users, including student-athletes, full-time athletics staff, academic advisors, athletic trainers, managers, graduate assistants, and others approved by the Department. Because users may be dispersed across locations and use different communication methods, the Department seeks a centralized hub that supports day-to-day operations of an intercollegiate athletics program.
