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:

Horry County School District (HCSD) Learning Services intends to enter a contract as a sole source with The Hanover Research Council, LLC to provide a comprehensive, research‑based instructional audit to evaluate curriculum alignment and instructional practices across the district. The district needs an integrated service that combines rigorous quantitative analysis of student outcomes and subgroup disaggregation; qualitative classroom observations and stakeholder interviews; curriculum‑to‑standards crosswalks and classroom/practice alignment analysis; and ongoing access to comparative research, benchmarking tools, and implementation resources that directly inform and support post‑audit improvement work. The district additionally requires deliverables that include original, copyrighted reports, interactive benchmarking dashboards, and a secure online repository of prior commissioned studies to enable evidence‑based comparison with peer districts and rapid implementation of recommended practices. Because the district’s improvement strategy depends on a single, integrated platform that houses both the custom audit deliverables and a searchable archive of proprietary research and dashboards for ongoing use, the required subscription‑based, custom research service supported by exclusive, copyrighted data assets is available only through Hanover Research. Furthermore, no other vendor maintains or can license this archive, these dashboards, or Hanover’s proprietary datasets and methodologies, making Hanover the sole source able to fulfill the instructional audit requirements without alternation or substitution. 

The anticipated value of this potential contract is approximately up to $120,000 annually with up to two (2) additional optional one (1) year renewals for a total of $360,000. The initial term is 1 year, with a maximum contract period not to exceed three (3) years

This notice is not a request for competitive proposals.  Any responsible source who wishes to identify their capability to provide these products/services must notify the Buyer by email at the address and no later than the submittal due date specified in this ad.  Telephone responses will not be accepted. Upon receipt of the interested parties’ notification, the district will determine whether to conduct competitive procurement or proceed with sole source negotiations.

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.
