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 Bio Engineering Department seeks to sole source the purchase of a Miltenyi Biotec LaVision BioTec Ultramicroscope II.  The purpose of this purchase is to acquire a light sheet microscope system capable of viewing large biological samples such as intact mouse organs, joints, and tissues (or other samples similar in size). The “Field of View”, the microscope specification that describes the size capacity of the sample to be imaged, is the most important feature of the systems to our research. A larger field of view means a larger sample size capacity. Our goal is to acquire system with the largest field of view commercially available. The Ultramicroscope II, manufactured and sold exclusively by Mitenyl Biotec Inc, has the largest field of view (measured in diagonal axis) on the market (maximum size = 17.6 mm). There are no other manufacturers that offer systems that either meet or come close to this capacity. Olympus offers the next highest field of view at 9.4mm field of view; followed by Lifecanvas (SmartSPIM-3.6 mm), Zeiss (Z1 – 2.8 mm), Bruker (MuVi SPIM CS – 2 mm), and ASI (ct-dSPIM SC – 1.1 mm). For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

SCDNR is the agency responsible for developing the State Water Plan which focuses on ensuring groundwater availability for all future uses. Regional groundwater models in the Coastal Plain are needed to evaluate future water availability and to test water management strategies that will ensure future water needs can be met. The USGS has a long history of groundwater modeling in SC, have already developed a foundation for efficiently developing new regional groundwater models, and are in a unique position to complete the work in a manner consistent with SCDNR’s demanding schedule . Groundwater models are similar in several important ways to the surface water models developed for the eight planning basins in the state – both are used to evaluate water availability, both simulate the distribution of the water resources in the state, both depend on historic hydrologic and meteorologic data, and both require calibration.
