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:

SCDHHS, in consultation with CMS, has chosen the MarkLogic products as the data storage technology at the core of the Medicaid Enterprise System (MES). The MarkLogic contract is a sole source approved by CMS letter SC-2019-05-21 dated July 11, 2019. Competitive solicitations for MarkLogic consulting services were attempted, but the responses were not considered as responsive and/or capable of providing the expertise necessary to satisfy program requirements. SCDHHS considers the services delivered by MarkLogic to be invaluable and crucial to success of the Medicaid Enterprise System (MES), and by extension, the implementation of all enterprise applications. SCDHHS requires professional consulting services directly from the creator of the technology to support ongoing production operations as well as planned development efforts. MarkLogic consultants have unique proprietary expertise that is required by SCDHHS to assist with complex architectural designs, programming techniques, testing strategies, infrastructure configuration, and performance optimization. Only the creator of the technology has the proprietary knowledge and expertise to provide such sophisticated consultations. In addition, SCDHHS requires expedited issue resolution and product customizations that only MarkLogic engineers can provide. No other vendor has access to MarkLogic proprietary source code and internal design specifications, so no other vendor can provide the level of support required by the MES program to meet enterprise delivery commitments and other performance obligations. SCDHS is requesting an extension of the contract end date from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024.

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 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.

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires data collection and reporting of data. The current Student Information System is the foundation of the data import process and this provides the stable set of data tables. The myriad of new data points being collected in conjunction with a new SIS at this time would put an extreme hardship on school districts. The disruption to the normal function of the district would render data quality extremely questionable. Currently many other systems have been developed at state expense to interconnect with this particular solution. Compatibility of this solution is the paramount consideration for this particular 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 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.
