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:

In accordance with §11-35-1560 (A) of the SC Consolidated Procurement Code, it is the intent of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) to award without competition, a sole source contract in accordance with Regulation 19-445.2105 (B) (5) to Lucid Scientific, Inc. for the purchase of two Resipher 96-Sensor Starter Kits, two Software & Maintenance 32X-6-month agreements.

Purpose and Objectives: The newly available 96-sensor version will transform the ability to compare mitochondrial function between different treatment groups.

Sole Source Justification: The Resipher system is the only OCR (oxygen consumption rate device) that can continuously and non-invasively measure OCR directly within standard cell culture plates. This system also provides measurements within the incubator of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and vibration. The patented measurement method utilizes a dynamic sensing probe which has the highest sensitivity in the market of 2 fmol/mm2/sec.  The proposed system from this manufacturer is the only oxygen consumption device of its kind that is able to measure oxygen consumption from C. elegans nematodes without causing a harmful increase in the temperature beyond what is tolerated by the worms.  The Resipher system delivers and stores all data in their cloud-based platform, a benefit that is unique to this system and fosters easy data sharing among collaborators.  

No other manufacturers offer oxygen consumption systems which meet the criteria listed above or have any associated cloud storage or backup.

Questions: Shall be addressed to the email address of the Procurement Office indicated below: 

PROTESTS (MAY 2019): If you are aggrieved in connection with the solicitation or award of the contract, you may be entitled to protest, but only as provided in Section §11-35-4210.

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 Bioengineering department seeks to sole source the purchase of a Dual Belt Compact End-to-End with Incline, instrumented treadmill.   This particular treadmill with incline/decline capabilities, fore-aft dual belts, and instrumented force plates for 3D ground reaction force measurements is required for the research being conducted in the laboratory.  This equipment is necessary to do inverse dynamics analysis of walking for extended periods of time, which is fundamental to doing human movement biomechanics research, a pillar of my research lab. I am collecting this data on older adults in a pilot study to bolster external grant proposals funding researching at the intersection of healthy aging and gait biomechanics. In a separate project, I will use this treadmill to study how injured athletes adapt their gait to offload injured joints/tissues. This is in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers and physical therapists in PRISMA Health and Clemson University Athletics. A dual belt treadmill is required to appropriately capture the individual loads on each foot during double stance phase of gait. Without dual belts, inverse dynamics cannot be done. There are two options: side by side dual belts or fore-aft dual belts. Side by side belts are undesirable because they encourage a wider than normal stance width which introduces an artifact that influences experimental results. Fore-aft belts are thus the preferred mechanism.  AMTI has a patent on the fore-aft dual belt treadmill that precludes other vendors from offering the same technology. Fore-aft dual belt treadmills are only available with AMTI and are not available for purchase from any other reseller or distributors.  For these reasons, this are a sole source.

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 Chemistry Department seeks to sole source a Quantum Design MPMS3 SQUID Magnetometer with DC Scan and related accessories.  The research program requesting this equipment focuses on designing and developing quantum materials – a special class of materials that display unique physical properties that cannot be explained by classical models. Developments in quantum materials could be a game changer for humanity by advancing science, technologies, environment conservation, national security, and healthcare.  However, it is challenging to characterize the physical properties of the materials, especially when approaching a quantum regime with very small magnetic moments. Thus, it requires a sensitivity of <1 x 10-8 emu and capabilities for measuring magnetic, resistivity, and optical properties as a function of temperature and magnetic field. It is believed that the MPMS3 SQUID is the only equipment that has the required sensitivity and capabilities.  Some manufacturers exist for just one or two of the desired options. However, no other manufacturer exists that incorporates all the options into a single instrument.  Quantum Design, Inc. is the sole manufacturer of the DC SQUID and the equipment cannot be purchased from any other reseller or distributor.  For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.
