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:

Youth in DSS custody in Richland County that have complex needs lack placement stability and permanency due to the youth behavioral episodes. These youth have levels of emotional or behavioral needs that DSS staff are not equipped to adequately and safely manage, presenting risk to the physical and mental health of the youth and DSS staff. Additionally, this will serve as a method of emergency placement stabilization and access to emergency clinical diagnostic assessments. This is a part of both the court ordered Michelle H. Healthcare Improvement Plan (HCIP) and Richland County Plan. Epworth has an established reputation for being able to meet the residential placement needs of youth in foster care with mental health issues, behavioral problems, and development disabilities. For many years they have managed a network of therapeutic foster homes, regular foster homes, services for children, and more recently operates a successful crisis beds center. The services include 24/7 Rapid response interventions provided in person or via telehealth when appropriate. Additional services provided under this contract include diagnostic assessments for youth who though not currently experiencing a behavioral health episode are likely to need emergency clinical assessment in the future. Services will also provide emergency clinical diagnostic assessments to ensure appropriate clinical care and recommendations for acute and critical behavioral health services.

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:

Emergency Procurement Justification: Mobile Modular Building

The District respectfully requests approval of an emergency procurement for the purchase and installation of a mobile modular building to support additional staffing needs resulting from continued student growth.

In April 2026, the Board of Trustees approved additional staffing positions, effective July 1, 2026, in response to increasing student enrollment and operational demands. The District is appreciative of the Board’s support in approving these positions, which are essential to maintaining high-quality services for students.

Due to current space limitations within existing facilities, there is insufficient office space to accommodate these new employees. In order to provide appropriate workspace and ensure staff are able to effectively perform their duties upon their start date, a mobile modular building is required.

Based on vendor timelines, the delivery and installation of a modular building requires approximately 6–8 weeks from the time of order. To ensure the building is in place and ready for occupancy by July 1, 2026, procurement must occur immediately.

The Board also approved an update to the District’s procurement exemptions, effective July 1, 2026, to include one-of-a-kind items such as portable classrooms and modular buildings. While this update will support future procurements, the current timeline necessitates immediate action prior to the effective date of the exemption.

Pursuant to the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code, emergency procurements are permitted when there exists an immediate threat to public health, welfare, or safety, or when there is an urgent and unexpected requirement where delay would be detrimental to the District’s operations. In accordance with this guidance, the District has determined that the need to provide adequate workspace for Board-approved staff—necessary to support student services and daily operations—constitutes an urgent operational requirement. Delaying procurement would result in insufficient facilities for staff to perform essential job functions, thereby negatively impacting the District’s ability to effectively serve students.

This situation constitutes an emergency procurement due to:

  • The need to support Board-approved staffing aligned with student growth 
  • Insufficient existing space to accommodate new personnel 
  • Vendor lead times requiring immediate action to meet occupancy needs 
  • The operational necessity of ensuring staff have appropriate workspace upon hire 

Timely action is essential to ensure continuity of operations and to support the successful onboarding of new staff members.

For these reasons, the District is proceeding with an emergency procurement in accordance with the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code to secure a mobile modular building and ensure readiness for the upcoming school year.

Competition:
Competition was sought to the extent practicable. Vendor selection was based on ability to meet required delivery and installation timelines and provide a compliant solution at a reasonable cost. The total is for 24- month lease, delivery set up, and charges upon return.

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:

This purchase is justified as a sole source because Tecniplast zebrafish systems are fully compatible with the Aquatic Animal Research Laboratory’s existing aquatic housing infrastructure. We currently operate Tecniplast systems, and all tanks, racks, and components are interchangeable. No other manufacturer offers systems compatible with our existing equipment. This compatibility is critical for animal welfare and emergency preparedness. In the event of a system failure or emergency, tanks can be transferred immediately to other Tecniplast systems without moving or stressing the fish, ensuring continuity of care and minimizing risk of animal loss.  Facility staff are also already trained and experienced in the operation and maintenance of Tecniplast systems. Using the same manufacturer avoids the need for retraining, reduces the risk of error, and ensures consistent husbandry practices. Introducing a different system would increase operational complexity and risk.  For these reasons, this is a sole source.

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:

SCPRT is seeking to perform emergency repairs on a critical pump station located at Kings Mountain State Park. The pump station services the RV Campground, A Hammock Campground, and the Day use areas at Lake Crawford. The pump station is currently having electrical issues and is only able to be ran in manual mode. After numerous attempts to fix the issue, it has been determined that a new electrical switch panel, a redundant sump pump, new wiring and conduit, and some miscellaneous items are necessary for the pump station to function properly. Given the pump station services many critical infrastructure items, SCPRT feels it is in best interest of the agency, and the users of King Mountains State Park to remedy this as soon as possible. Should the pump station shut down, this would greatly affect the operations of Kings Mountain State Park.

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:

Description of the Agency need that this procurement meets: The South Carolina Department of Parks Recreation & Tourism (the "Department") is seeking a qualified architect to provide complete architectural/engineering services for the design and construction of the Department's new welcome center at 1-26 South at the North/South Carolina border (at Landrum). The Department is currently designing a new welcome in North Augusta that successfully meets the programmatic needs and requirements of the Department for its welcome center operations and is ideal for the Landrum location. Additionally, site adapting this design will save time and money, and restore the full welcome center services at Landrum to our State as quickly as possible. The Department is not aware of any other suitable design prepared to meet its special needs and requirements. Therefore, the Department intends to site-adapt the North Augusta Welcome Center design for the Landrum Welcome Center. The architect and architect's consultants for the North Augusta Welcome Center own the license for this design. Therefore, the acquisition of the design is a sole source. Due to liability issues, the North Augusta Welcome Center architect is not willing to sell its license for use elsewhere absent their involvement in the project. The Department believes that acquisition of the architect to site adapt the North Augusta Welcome Center design is a sole source and intends to proceed as such. Qualified architects who disagree that the selection of the architect to site adapt an existing design and who are willing to accept full responsibility for doing so, should contact Kevin Kibler at 803-734-3752 by May 15 2026 for additional information.

Description of market research Agency performed to determine the availability of products or services that would meet the Agency's needs: The Agency's tourism division - based on visitor surveys - stresses the importance of historical and cultural authenticity for those visiting regions within South Carolina and as such, believes that the North Augusta Welcome Center design will impart aesthetic consistency to those visiting the equestrian areas of Aiken and Landrum as both welcome centers would be based off the existing North Augusta Welcome Center's equestrian design. Ultimately, such consistency will enhance the State's "brand".

Description of supplies, construction, information technology, and/or services Vendor will provide under the contract: The requested sole source vendor will provide architectural services associated with the Design-Bid-Build (DBB) delivery method of its Welcome Center Rebuild - Landrum Project. This project entails the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of the new center, as well as the associated site improvements.

Detailed explanation why no other vendor's supplies, construction, information technology, and/or services will meet the needs of the Agency: In addition to the unique equestrian design justification described above, the Agency believes that utilizing the North Augusta Welcome Center design will allow for a potential reduction in ongoing operational and maintenance costs as both centers would be developed with a design consistency that would afford a level of sameness of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roofing and building envelop components. Finally, the shared design will provide a potential reduction in design development costs as well as a potential shortened schedule for the Welcome Center Rebuild - Landrum project.

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 Fujifilm Visualsonics Corp for the purchase of Vevo F2 Imaging System. 

Purpose and Objectives: The Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiology at MUSC is requesting purchasing the Vevo F2 Imaging System.  Vevo F2 is the only ultrasound equipment that allows imaging with low and high frequency transducers in animals ranging from small (zebrafish) to large animals (pigs) as well as (potentially) human using the same equipment. The equipment comes with a specialized imaging station that manages the spatial relationship between the animal and transducer (required to obtain images needed for analysis), contains an injection mount for image-guided injections into mouse organs, keeps the animal warm, monitors its physiology, and feeds body signal directly to the instrument. The Vevo F2 also has unique advanced acquisition modes, analysis modes, and hardware. This includes VevoStrain analysis for early detection of changes in cardiac function, Auto LV-an Al-based semiautomated analysis tool, 4D-mode-shown to be very similar to cardiac MRI, VevoCQ, and nonlinear contrast mode-the most sensitive technique for tissue perfusion assessment.  Additionally, we are testing the photoacoustic module of this specific imaging instrument for future purchase. No other equipment to date provides this module.

Sole Source Justification: Authorized the purchase of Vevo F2 Imaging System. FUJIFILM VisualSonics, Inc. (VisualSonics) is the exclusive and only manufacturer of in vivo ultra-high to low frequency linear array micro-ultrasound systems ranging from 71 - 1 MHz for small animal research, including the following products: Vevo LAZR-X20; Vevo LAZR-X; Vevo F2; Vevo F2 LT; Imaging system software, and all other Vevo branded hardware. VisualSonics maintains direct sales, scientific applications, and technical support teams in North America, Europe, and Australia / New Zealand who sell, service, and train customers on the use of all Vevo products. In these direct markets, the above noted products are solely provided by VisualSonics, and are not offered by any other distributor or reseller.
