The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Clemson University seeks to sole source proposal development support for two funding proposal submissions to National Science Foundation Engineering Research Centers competition. The Implementation Group is the only supplier that can manage and provide technical assistance in the proposal development process for two pre-proposals from Clemson U. to the 2023 National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center competition. For each pre-proposal, the pre-proposal must be developed from the predecessor concept paper submitted to the same competition by Clemson for this topic. Assistance should include subject-matter expert input from former program personnel of the NSF. The proposal is necessary for selection to continue to the final step in the competition (invitation to submit a full proposal). Achieving this requires management by a team experienced in the development of successful NSF ERC pre-proposals and with an in-depth understanding of the philosophy and preferences of the NSF ERC program. T.I.G. was previously retained to provide development support for the concept-paper stage of these two proposal efforts. Thus, they are the only vendor with in-depth knowledge of the proposal teams, content, and approach of the two concept papers from which the pre-proposals are developed under the current service. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

Clemson University's Center for Optical Materials Science seeks to sole source the purchase and installation of a Zumbach fibre diameter measuring system.  This sole source is to bring legacy diameter measuring software currently installed on the optical fiber draw tower up to 2022 standards. The in-process equipment approval is being done by Controls Interface Ltd. This equipment will be compatible with the previously approved and funded equipment and legacy controls upgrade. This purchase includes a new measurement computer, and 3 diameter gauge systems that integrate with the upgrade being provided by Controls Interface Ltd. These new units will be replacing the old units purchased in 2002 of which there are no drop-in replacements without a wholesale replacement of the gauges and computer. Further as these gauges require custom mounting, Controls Interface will be providing that as it will be 100% compatible with the current tower configuration.This upgrade would maintain the equipment for the next 20 years of research and provide readily available replacements for the foreseeable future. Further, the current proprietary software and controls will be upgraded to a more current version. This will prevent the undoing of almost 20 years of research into optical fiber here at the university as the new software and controls will be a seamless change from the previous versions and will maintain the continuity of research data.  For these reasons, this is a sole source.

The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

TTC, in accordance with §11-35-1570 (B) of the SC Consolidated Procurement Code, and in accordance with Regulation 19-445.2110 is announcing the award of an emergency procurement for unarmed security guards to Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. The Procurement Officer has deemed these services to be an emergency in accordance with Section 11-35-1570 of the South Carolina Procurement Code, due to TTC Public Safety Department having insufficient staff to cover all shifts. While TTC has been consistently advertising open positions, there has not been sufficient response  from qualified candidates to fill needed positions. Public Safety has been working with procurement to issue a solicitation to contract for unarmed security officers to fill the immediate needs.  In the meantime, to allow time to finalize the IFB evaluation process and implement a longer term contract for security service,  due to the  immediate staffing shortages, TTC requires an emergency contract to be in place to enable Public Safety to provide required services.  It is critical that the Public Safety department have officers on duty for all shifts to protect the college premises, faculty and staff. The safety of students and employees is at risk if officers are not available on site as well as the reputational risk to the college should a serious incident occur.
