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:

Equifax is the largest network of employment agencies at more than 641 million employers connected with them and with the new federal regulations that could cost the State of South Carolina between $70 million and $140 million dollars, this iwas the most advantageous methodology for the benefit and welfare of the agency. The critical economic emergency this procurement responded to includes the major changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) under the recently passed budget reconciliation package H.R.1 (aka, One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)). Currently, the federal government pays 100% of the cost of SNAP benefits. OBBBA established cost-sharing requirements for states beginning in federal fiscal year 2028. Starting in October 1, 2027, states with a payment error rate (PER) above 6% will be required to cost share in the SNAP benefit payments based on the states PER. This change in the SNAP cost-sharing requirement may have a fiscal impact on South Carolina between $70 million and 140 million annually. The goal of the services provided by Equifax-Employment Verification System is to assist the state in lowering the State Reported SNAP Payment Error rate by accurately reporting a household’s employment status (Employment Verification) and/or income (Income Verification) for the purposes of determining eligibility and benefit allotment for SNAP.

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:

Amatrol is currently the exclusive manufacturer of the electrical equipment utilized in our classrooms. This equipment is specifically designed to align with our curriculum. The vendor is supplying two mobile electrical control panel trainers equipped with wheels for easy movement and setup. Each trainer will include a dedicated plug to provide electrical current once the wiring is completed correctly. In addition, the trainers will feature an electrical box with a fuse system to ensure that the current is regulated and operating safely. Introducing new equipment would require significant revisions to the curriculum, along with additional equipment purchases to align with the updated content. Furthermore, we would need to re-order and standardize the equipment across all campuses to ensure consistency in instruction for comparable courses.

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 requires a generative, large language model (LLM) artificial intelligence (AI) solution that understands and generates human-like text based on input it receives.  Clemson needs a tool that can be easily adapted and standardized as a primary solution to be used by the University’s 37,000+ constituents while providing opportunity and flexibility to be adapted for the unique needs of a university environment.  Some specific requirements we have include:
1) Ability to tier licenses/accounts based on various levels of user needs
2) Advanced use options for the classroom such as the ability for faculty, staff and students to build their own custom GPTs to publish and share publicly, that Admin can control for safe integrations.  Additional features focused on students usage beyond just answering questions and can be incorporated into learning and research
3) Ability for staff to use the tool for optimizing business workflow
4) Built in agentic tools and features that allow unified agent deployment, promoting usability and enabling greater controls
5) Opportunities for strategic collaboration on next generation AI research within STEM
6) Clemson data must stay within an isolated Clemson domain; the AI will not train on Clemson data

Clemson is investing in deeper, custom AI capabilities that go beyond what other universities have purchased, positioning the campus to lead in teaching, operations, and research innovation.  ChatGPT is the only LLM in the market that will allow Clemson to achieve its goals for a fast, broad adoption, ability to grow and customize solutions specific to the classroom needs, research or campus business, while also positioning Clemson to be a leader in the higher education space for such a solution.  While other LLMs do exist, the breadth of strong results of ChatGPT means Clemson can rely on a single vendor whose models already span the teaching, research, and administrative workloads we anticipate, reducing integration risk as needs evolve.  OpenAI is the only provider offering the full, integrated feature stack Clemson requires under a single EDU contract (governed custom agents, multimodal capabilities, advanced tool use, pooled-credit licensing, and institutional data protections) at the scale we need.  To be clear, this is not about varying degrees of how well the solution would perform, but rather other solutions simply are not able to meet our requirements.  Most importantly, having 19,000+ current users, it would be impossible to drive adoption and deliver on outcomes across the university for another solution.  It is basically an embedded base that is the main driver for user adoption.  ChatGPT is sold solely by OpenAI as the developer and owner of their proprietary solution.    The price we are paying for this contract ($3,089,726) is considered fair and reasonable based on comparison of similar contracts in the marketplace.  Therefore this is a sole source.

Clemson requires specific research related functions (technology transfer, economic development, startup incubation, licensing of continuing ed programs and related services) to be performed by a 3rd party due to current limitations restricting/prohibiting Clemson from adequately doing so under current law (e.g. choice of law, prohibition to holding of equity, contracting for patenting services, indemnification, financing, access to funds not available to public entities, etc...).

Currently CURF as a 509(a)(3) not-for-profit is the only entity structured to support the University in this direct manner and thus this contract is a sole source procurement.

The SC Department of Public Health issued an emergency PO to allow us time to develop a solicitation. A recent ruling from the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) at the Division of Procurement Services has found that market research does not support a conclusion that these services are in fact available from only one source. The Division of Procurement Services is investigating the possibility of a statewide term contract for these services. The emergency PO was necessary to prevent a lapse in service for the agency.

DPH, in accordance with South Carolina Procurement Code, Section 11-35-1570 and Regulation 19-445.2110, is providing public notice of the emergency contract to Microsoft Corporation. The total estimated dollar amount of the service contract purchases is $710,000.00.
