The University of South Carolina hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 to Ellucian Company LP Software Development Maintenance Services.

1. 2016, then-Governor Nikki Hailey signed an executive order directing SCDHHS to take over administration of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Part C, referred to as BabyNet in South Carolina. SCDHHS assumed administration of BabyNet while the program was under Corrective Action Plan (CAP) with the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). Included in the CAP was a federal mandate to improve timeliness of claims payments to BabyNet service providers. To achieve this goal, SCDHHS undertook the effort to establish data integration between the BRIDGES IDEA Part C case management system and the agency’s eligibility and enrollment determination systems (E&E) and its Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS) to establish BabyNet membership and pay the claims submitted through BRIDGES. Yahasoft, who is responsible for hosting and maintaining the BRIDGES system, was to establish the X12 Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transactions to deliver information among E&E, BRIDGES, and MMIS. As SCDHHS and Yahasoft were in the process of testing the new data interchanges, Yahasoft proved to be unable to provide basic information about the structure of its database, its development and release management process, or the code being developed to support data interchange for this project. SCDHHS was not able to develop and authorize a replacement system in time to comply with the requirements of its CAP response for federal funding year (FFY) 2019 which ended on July 1, 2019, and therefore acknowledged that the data integration requirements for this project was at significant risk to the BabyNet program. The immediate nature of the circumstances could not be acquired through normal procurement sourcing methods. Additionally, the start-up requirements necessary for any other contractor to accomplish this scope of work would be so time consuming as to further exacerbate the conditions, so it was not practical to seek formal competitive bids through the normal procurement process in order to meet the emergency. To ensure reasonable competition, SCDHHS contacted Greenway Health, TruBridge, and Public Consulting Group (PCG), all claims processing and revenue cycle service providers. Despite multiple contact attempts by SCDHHS, Greenway Health and TruBridge did not provide SCDHHS with more than general marketing materials and showed no willingness to engage in direct negotiation for provision of services. Of the three suppliers contacted for this emergency, PCG was the only supplier with requisite resources and technology in place to meet SCDHHS' aggressive deadline of deployment by July 1, 2019. Therefore, SCDHHS sought to contract with PCG for data translation and 837P generation services, acting as a clearinghouse of claims data for the program while SCDHHS thoroughly tested the 837P EDI transaction between BRIDGES and MMIS before Yahasoft deployed its solution to production. By using PCG as a clearinghouse SCDHHS was able to fulfill the requirements of its CAP response while also giving the BRIDGES Integration technical team additional time to test and acceptably minimize the risk of implementation for the Yahasoft solution. Failure to maintain these IT services would cause SCDHHS to fall out of compliance with the requirements of Part C of P.L. 108-446 of IDEA, making continuing compatibility of paramount importance. SCDHHS issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) in September 2019 to re-procure the IT systems and services for the BabyNet program. A Contract was awarded on March 25, 2020, under Solicitation 5400018456. Due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, SCDHHS postponed implementation of the new Contract until September 2020. The Contract was mutually terminated effective January 14, 2022. A new RFP is in development and is anticipated to be issued in FY 2023. This sole source will continue for the reasons stated above until a new Contract is implemented and operational. Once the new Contract is operational, this sole source procurement will be terminated. Therefore, SCDHHS must increase the amount of the award and the length of the contract to cover ongoing operational and change/enhancement costs to maintain the compatibility of the equipment.

The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide one (1) Biofire FilmArray 2.0 Complete Configuration with Laptop and associated components including:

The South Carolina Department of Corrections intends to Sole Source Appriss -SAVIN – A Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification System also known as VINE (Victim Information Notification Everyday System).  VINE helps keep communities safe and informed by providing crime victims access to information about offenders’ custody status and notifying the victim about any changes in the offender’s custody status, while also providing an integrated crime victim service provider directory. Victims must be able to receive automated notifications about their offender’s custody status via their choice of format: phone, email, text, or in-app messaging. TTY services must also be available. VINE is a single solution that notifies users about updates to court events and protective orders as well. Probation and parole updates keep victims informed once an offender moves to post-incarceration supervision. The SAVIN System is currently being utilized in 44 county detention centers, 1 prison camp, 2 city jails, the South Carolina Department of Corrections, the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardons, and the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice. To allow for the transparent exchange of data, it is desired that the system be compatible with the existing operational electronic offender or victim information system in order that the systems can remain integrated into one statewide victim notification system with appropriate interfaces.

The system must meet BJA SAVIN requirements for victim notification. The overall SAVIN architecture must support the ability to share data among multiple data sources. The information sharing for SAVIN includes implementing relevant national information sharing standards as recommended by DOJ’s Global Justice Information Sharing Initiative (Global), such as Global Reference Architecture (GRA), National Data Exchange Model (NIEM), and Global Federated Identity and Privilege Management (GFIPM). SAVIN IEPD/Service Specifications and other currently available technologies that support SAVIN business processes are required

The South Carolina Department of Corrections intends to Award a Sole Source to TalkTelio for the procurement of DetectTalk a turnkey Cellular Detection and Monitoring System that detects illegal cell phones in the possession of SCDC Inmates housed in SCDC Correctional Institutions. TalkTelio is currently being used at SCDC.

SCDC has viewed multiple correctional environment cellphone detection systems during the last several years. This included onsite demonstrations and testing in a SCDC correctional facility and inside correctional facilities of states other than SC.  Many of the features and options presented by other Vendors are based on special mobile Apps installed on users “legal” mobile devices and on WLAN architecture with mobile connectivity, which transmit each of the device’s MAC addresses freely.  Unauthorized mobile devices are not prevented from use.  This falls short of eliminating the Inmates ability for unauthorized devices to establish calls, text and data communications.  The detection and monitoring systems viewed by SCDC were not able to identify all of the different mobile cellular devices, and cellular hotspots.  Vendor’s detection and monitoring equipment sensors are configurable by software only and monitor by means of spectrum analysis.  Other Vendor’s sensors are slow to detect short signal burst, e.g. data packets from email.  Day by day called phone numbers and SMSs are no longer the norm resulting in IP traffic and encrypted Point to Point communication becoming the standard (such as, WhatsApp, etc.) and the current data can no longer be grabbed by those software sensors.

DetectTalk/TalkTelio’s technology is the only product which monitors multiple bands simultaneously which can detect and monitor phone calls, texts and other data transmissions. It is the multiple band monitoring and expanded detection features that are required by SCDC. The other products may be similar but do not have the essential requirements needed by SCDC. This product will detect unauthorized cellular devices using a unique hardware technology that catches all packet bursts less than 2ms, e.g. data packets from email, VOIP, SMS, Data apps, and station updates.   DetectTalk/TalkTelio is the only vendor found that monitors all band frequencies concurrently.  Their technology is completely unique configurable by hardware, plus software resulting in a huge advantage in detection:  the fastest speeds can detect cell phone in 1ms.  Detect Talk/TalkTelio’s solution can monitor all configured (by hardware, NOT software- because the inferior technology is slow) frequencies at the same time.  Other Vendor’s software solutions sweep through the cellular spectrum bands which results in failing to cover all bands concurrently.  No other product on the market utilizes the same unique technology as DetectTalk to detect and monitor all cellular devices.

• This system will support local devices that continue to annunciate duress(man-down) alerts during network or server outages. The system uses Controller Based Alerts for Man-Down, Trouble events for any device connected to its RS-485 BUS (subnet) such as Device Tamper (and restore), Low Voltage (and restore), Communication (crc) errors (and Restore), Bus Capacity Exceeded, Antenna Removed (and Restore), Server Communication Failure (and Restore).
• The system will support wireless temperature monitoring by utilizing the same 433 MHz Radio Frequency Infrastructure to monitor temperature and annunciate out of range alerts for Refrigerators, Food Pantries, Medicine Cabinets as well as ambient temperature in housing units, server rooms, etc.
• The system supports wireless temperature monitoring by utilizing the same 433 MHz Radio Frequency Infrastructure to monitor temperature and annunciate out of range alerts for Refrigerators, Food Pantries, Medicine Cabinets as well as ambient temperature in housing units, server rooms, etc.
• The system must reliably provide location and distinguish between indoor, outdoor and separate floors.

There is no other system that can support all of these features on the same platform.  While companies that use disparate systems can achieve some of the outcomes but are not able to do it all from one system.  The key is ability it to do it all at that level from one hardware/software platform. The RTLS System contains a Software Development Kit for the development of interfaces to external building and security systems. Including a Web Services based interface to enable simple integration by developers and to access and update database events and objects. Interfaces with Intrusion, CCTV, Access Control and Patient Call Systems.
