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:

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide reagent kits for use on the existing Illumina MiSeq and MiniSeq Next Generation Sequencing Systems located in DHEC's Public Health Laboratory. These reagent kits will allow for rapid response to foodborne disease outbreaks in the State of South Carolina.

As members of the CDC's PulseNet national foodborne outbreak surveillance network, DHEC's lab is responsible for reporting their statewide results to CDC in order to link South Carolina outbreaks to any and all national foodborne outbreaks. To respond to and identify potential outbreaks more quickly, the CDC and PulseNet labs have transitioned to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS). This technology gives PulseNet labs more information about organisms and improves the ability to quickly link causative agents to patient samples. The reagent kits must be validated for use by CDC for PulseNet developed protocols for WGS for the Illumina MiSeq and MiniSeq Next Generation Sequencing Systems.

DHEC, in accordance with South Carolina Procurement Code, Section 11-35-1560 and regulation 19-445.2105, is providing public notice of the intent to award a sole source contract to Illumina Inc. The total estimated dollar amount of the purchase is $400,000.00.

Qualified vendors should contact Whitney Carswell at carswewp@dhec.sc.gov by Midnight ET, March 24, 2023 for additional information.

across the field of higher education and is required to attract high-quality applicants. The software unilaterally handles file delivery required for faculty searches, recruitment, hiring, and promotion. Interfolio starts tracking tenure the moment a facility’s employee is hired. In order for Winthrop to retain its accreditation, the university must have a comprehensive faculty hiring process that requires faculty applicants to submit CVs and reference letters, which an evaluation committee then reviews. Other solutions allow various pieces of this process to be handled through their respective program, but not one all-encompassing solution, which is why countless other universities have standardized their hiring programs through the Interfolio application. Therefore, Winthrop intends to sole source these services for the period of March 22, 2023, through March 21, 2026. In accordance with Regulation 19-445.2105 (B)(5), where the item is one of a kind.
