This is a sole source purchase to equip a new lab at Clemson University with a photosynthesis measurement system along with associated peripherals for measuring light, stomatal function, tissue gas exchange, and leaf area. The LICOR company (Lincoln, NE) has long been the industry standard for measuring plant photosynthesis, since their development of a portable 'open chamber' technique in the 1980s. All plant physiology labs across the US use LICOR machines--there is no other U.S. supplier of a open chamber gas exchange system. The latest model is the LI-6800 system, developed about 5 years ago as a replacement for the LI-6400. The LI-6800F system includes a pulse modulated fluorometer in the leaf chamber, which is used to assay properties of light harvesting, including quantum efficiency and stress response. This will be the primary tool in the lab for measuring leaf function, including both the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis, leaf transpiration, and respiration. There is no other piece of equipment on the market that performs these functions. For these reasons, this is a sole source.

The South Carolina Department of Administration, in accordance with South Carolina Procurement Code, Section 11-35-1570 and regulation 19-445.2110, is providing public notice of the award of an emergency contract to Blanchard Machinery. The total potential value the contract is approximately $78,460.92.
This procurement is for two (2) 72-inch cooling tower blades and the associated duct cylinder assembly that has failed, resulting in the cooling tower being unable to provide cool enough water with high outdoor temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s to feed the chillers without shutting them down. This is the main testing facility for infection diseases for DHEC. This facility operates 24/7 and without sufficient cooling, would have to shut down and route all testing to independent laboratories. The inability to complete testing on site creates a threat to public health as DHEC would not be able to report testing results in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control guidelines. Additionally, routing all testing to independent labs would risk specimen contamination.
Please see Section 11-35-4210: Right to Protest of the South Carolina Code of Laws for information relating to protest rights.
The South Carolina Aeronautics Commission (SCAC), in accordance with South Carolina Procurement Code, Section 11-35-1570 and regulation 19-445.2110, is providing public notice of the award of an emergency contract to Rebel Services, LLC. The total potential value the contract is approximately $70,000.00.
This procurement is for the installation of veeder-root tank monitoring systems for 5 underground fuel tanks. The current system has stopped working properly, and if left unrepaired, the DHEC will close the fueling system utilized for agency aircraft and aircraft operational costs will increase significantly as there will be a need to purchase fuel at retail rates rather than wholesale. Also, if this system were left unrepaired, it would run the risk of the agency not knowing if tanks leak, and the agency would face penalties from DHEC.
