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 ENVIRONMENTAL ENGR & EARTH SCI Department currently has two ongoing research projects have been utilizing Agilent gas chromatography (GC) instruments to collect electron capture detector (ECD) chromatograph data on both Occurrence and Formation Potential Studies of Disinfection By-Products (DBP) of local waste and raw waters of the Carolinas. The methods developed to run the samples of this study were created with the help of Agilent applications specialists on Agilent equipment. As this research continues to progress it has been necessary to consult Agilent in order to further refine and redevelop some aspects of the methods used on these instruments for this important data collection process. It is in this aspect that Agilent Technologies is sought for the replacement of damaged instrumentation. An existing Agilent 7890 GC that serves as a third GC for this and other projects has a damaged autosampler (AS) is also in need of a replacement Agilent AS and tray and will now be bundled via a PC to the two incoming GC instruments so that all three GC’s on this bench can be utilized seamlessly to run samples for these projects on the same Agilent user license. In order to configure and to operate all three instruments together onto the same computer which will control the licensing and instrument method parameters it is required to have this setup and executed by Agilent as it is with Agilent instrumentation that this bundling will be occurring. This equipment cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor, and the installation requires authorized Agilent technicians. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

Clemson University's BARUCH INSTITUTE seeks to sole source Solinst Canada sensors. The purpose of these sensors in our research is to monitor water level, above ground salinity, and below ground salinity autonomously on an hourly basis in tidal estuaries. These Solinst sensors are the only sensors on the market that our lab has tested and found proven extended deployment life, which translates to higher data resolution with fewer missed measurements while maintaining a high level of sensor accuracy. Also, we are currently using the Solinst Levelogger sensors for our previous research, and replacements need to be purchased to maintain our existing data & research continuity. No other sensors on the market can meet these requirements, and the Levelogger 5 LTC and Levelogger 5 sensors cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor on the market. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

Clemson University's Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology & Forest Science is conducting research on microplastics in a variety of environmental samples. Processed environmental samples contain numerous particles of unknown composition, size, and color. We need the ability to scan areas with many particles, as opposed to one particle at a time, without damage to the particles. The instrument must have a wavelength tunable external cavity Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) utilizing an angle tuned immersion grating as a wavelength selection filter covering spectra from 1,800 cm-1 to 975 cm-1 to determine particle composition along with automated focus, background in reflectance, and visible image collection capabilities to quantify particle attributes, such as the number of particles in the viewing area, their dimensions, and their colors. It is also necessary to be able to capture images within the original scanned image to examine particles in more detail without manual adjustments to the optics. The instrument must come with a library of known particle compositions that can easily be updated as new spectra are acquired for automatic referencing during the scans. The automated system will decrease sample process time (no need to manually count particles using a microscope prior to analysis) and sample cost. Agilent is the only vendor that allows for the QCL technology along with these scanning optics, automatic referencing of spectra, and simultaneous evaluation during measurement to determine particle attributes. This equipment cannot be purchased from any other distributor or reseller.  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:

A research group at Clemson University will soon begin research into gas-filled hollow core fiber lasers. Due to this new field of research, we can achieve wavelengths that were never possible in optical fibers. Some of these wavelengths, important to counter-thermal sensor applications, are >3µm at a very narrow linewidth (<1nm). Due to these research constraints and the fact that we need to measure these center wavelengths and frequencies to such a high degree of accuracy, we need an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) to meet these research demands. After looking at suppliers for an OSA that would meet the demands of this endeavor, we found the Yokogawa AQ6377-10-L1-D; Its wavelength range is between 1900nm to 5500nm, perfecting spanning the wavelength requirements of our project, as well as having a high wavelength resolution of 0.2nm, allowing us to measure, not only around 3µm, but >3µm as well. This instrument is also already perfectly compatible with other instruments and accessories that we have in our lab. Further, this equipment cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor. Due to these factors, as well as the fact that other companies or supplies cannot meet our research needs, this item 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 research group is currently conducting research into high-power fiber lasers with our in-house drawn specialty optical fibers. Due to their unique shape and design, it is hard to splice specialty optical fibers with regular or industry standard ones. To fix this issue, our group has investigated a splicer that can solve these issues. During our trial process of two specialty optical fiber fusion splicers, one being from 3SAE and the other from AFL, we found that the AFL FSM-100P Factory Fusion Splicer was the far superior option. In general, it had >100 pre-designed fusion splicer commands that allowed for more control of the two fibers undergoing a splice, the option to do ball-lensing, tapering, and end-facing (three important aspects of fiber processing), as well as the ability to control/receive real-time splice data that could help with the ability to troubleshoot our splices and account for any problems present in the instrument. Each of these advantages transferred into laboratory achievements as the AFL FSM-100P was able to consistently give high-quality splices that survived >100s of watts of average power for >15min and with <30°C heating of the splice. Each of these metrics being important to ensure experimental success in our laboratory. Also, this splicer is compatible with other older and current instruments as well as a whole host of other accessories already purchased from AFL. Due to these factors, as well as the fact that other companies or supplies cannot meet our research needs. For these reasons, this item is a sole-source procurement.
