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:

The recipient is an 18-year-old who has decided to remain in care to focus on earning his GED and further enhance his independent living skills. Hill Crest’s Higdon Hill is a congregate care program which is designed to support independent living skills specifically which will allow the youth to build and nurture a strong support system. It is believed that he would be productive in a smaller group setting and step-down program like Higdon Hill. There are no in-state facilities willing to accept admission of the youth due to his extensive psychiatric background. The youth is currently being stepped down from a PRTF level of care to a GC-III level of care. The vendor is able to provide specialized treatment at the GC-III level of care for the youth to obtain essential independent living skills to transition into after care.

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:

For my research group (synthetic organic chemistry), we require an Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) system to measure/monitor/characterize enantio-purity of chiral organic compounds that are generated using our catalytic methods.  This SFC system is essential to my research program as it enables facile chiral analysis of wide-range of organic compounds.  The sample introduction on the Agilent SFC utilizes FEED injection so we can inject reliability and reproducibly from 0.1uL to 90uL without changing the loop due to sample limitations.  The Agilent 1260 also has a higher pressure-limit of 600bar vs other SFC, also with higher flow rates (up to 5ml/min).  Agilent is the only supplier that can provide such an SFC system that meets these requirements. We researched other suppliers, all of which led to the determination that Agilent has the unique ability to meet our needs. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.
