The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) intends to secure a contract with PowerSchool Group LLC, to provide a Student Information System (SIS), Ed-Fi Integration Maintenance, SIS Hosting, Ecollect Forms, and consulting for the 2023-2024 school year. This contract will not exceed $6,750,000.00 for over 759,000 students in South Carolina.

Clemson requires several panels of Cross-Laminated Timber to study their structural properties and their performance as part of a composite floor system. Cross-Laminated Timber is an engineered wood product where orthogonal layers of dimensional lumber are pressed into a panel of various sizes, configurations, and edge conditions. Clemson needs a specific layup (direction of each layer), panel size (8’ x 20’ to 8’ x 40’), species of manufacture (southern yellow pine), lamination thickness (1.375”) and adhesive choice (PUR – formaldehyde free). Each of these requirements can only be satisfied using Smartlam products. No other manufacturers of Cross-Laminated Timber can provide these requirements. Further, this material cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.

Clemson University's COMSET Laboratory is conducting directed energy studies - specifically, research into high-power specialty optical fiber lasers. In this research, researchers are constantly looking at new and novel ways to improve their performance. From this, we are constantly on the edge of disastrous nonlinear effects that can severely impact the effectiveness of them. To mitigate this, Clemson University is currently looking into new modulation schemes to prevent the onset of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) - a nonlinear effect that reflects the outwards propagating laser towards the source and damages all components in between it and the source, using phase modulators and the like. To better characterize these modulation methods as well as better understand their fidelity, we need to measure them on an Oscilloscope. Considering that the laboratory has already purchased an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) from Keyence that can be used to measure the signal generated from this, the Keyence Oscilloscope can impedance match between itself and the existing AWG for better signal measurements and performance. Also, the similar software that both instruments utilize helps us send signals to one and measure them on the other with no downtime or loss of data continuity. No other equipment can meet these specific requirements, and this equipment cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor. In this way, the Keyence Oscilloscope fits our research goals. For this reason, this is a sole source procurement.

- 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.
