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 seeks to sole source an Agilent 8890-7000D GCMSMS. The reason for sole sourcing this equipment is by necessity - the laboratory is looking to retain the highest degree of research continuity possible so that our regulatory-specified results are as accurate and compliant as possible. The subject instrument is an Agilent 8890 GC. This is the exact same instrument that currently processes the front-end analysis of our sample analytical results as found on our existing Agilent 8890-7000D GCMSMS. In order to achieve parallel and congruent testing, we need to pair the existing GCMSMS with its identical front-end GC which will then be equipped with both electron capture (ECD) and flame ionization (FID) detectors in order to have comparison capability to the mass spectrometer on the GCMSMS. Under regulatory functioning, it is necessary to prescreen analytes of interest with unknown sample concentration and confirm the regulatory data obtained with a compatible analytical method and instrument to our existing GC/MS/MS. We want to eliminate as many determinant errors as possible in our analytical processes to achieve the highest degree of reported analytical reliability by using the same equipment. This equipment cannot be purchase through any other reseller or distributor. For these reasons, this is a sole source.

Clemson University's Advanced Materials Research Laboratory seeks to sole source a dual beam optical monitor from All Scientific. The research requires highly accurate high reflection (HR) and anti-reflection (AR) coatings on the facets of laser diodes. However, due to the temperature varying during the deposition process, the film refractive index changes which leads to HR/AR coating errors. The Intelematics IL570-3 DUAL BEAM OPTICAL MONITOR is the only system that could be integrated with a coating system to provide real-time thin film coating reflectivity measurement with ebeam evaporation process. This function is the key and only method to obtain the required accuracy of HR/AR coatings and can be fitted to the existing Kurt J Lesker Coating System previously purchased. This equipment can only be purchased thru All Scientific as they are the only US distributor for Intelematic products. For these reasons, this is a sole source.

BabyNet requires all therapists to participate in continuing education to maintain their licensure, so it is important that any trainings offered provide continuing education credit. The vendor will provide access to online training modules that will equip BabyNet contracted Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists to use the coaching model in their therapy sessions. These are the only modules offered virtually that provide training on the coaching model for both PT’s and OT’s while providing continuing education credit that are recognized by the PT and OT associations in South Carolina.

The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

To provide therapeutic foster care services to children in SCDSS foster care system. Pursuant to the conditions of the Michelle H. lawsuit, other placement types (e.g., Group Homes) are deemed inappropriate for our children because they do not meet the standard of least-restrictive, family-like settings, while the services described in this justification do.  SCDSS must continue providing services for children. At this time, contracts resulting from a solicitation have not been awarded so these emergency contracts are required to avoid a legally unacceptable gap in services.  DSS has selected these providers because they meet licensure requirements required by law before foster care placement in South Carolina.
