About SoPro

Built from the bidder’s side of the table.

SoPro exists because public buyers deserve real competition—and suppliers deserve a neutral specification and a fair opportunity to earn the work.

Our story

Experience turned into a better procurement model.

Before administering reverse auctions, Vaughn Blaylock participated in them as a contractor. That experience revealed the model’s practical strength: qualified vendors can compete repeatedly, buyers can see the market work in real time, and the final award can be based on better information.

Southern Procurement, Inc. was founded in Mississippi and has grown into SoPro—a shorter, clearer brand prepared for a broader regional future.

What guides the work

Buyer control

The public organization defines the need and makes the award.

Neutral competition

Specifications should invite qualified solutions, not protect incumbents.

Visible accountability

A stronger record supports better decisions and public confidence.

Hands-on service

Technology matters. A responsive human partner matters more.
