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 10X Genomics Inc for the purchase of GEM-X Universal 3' Gene Expression v4 (2), Chromium GEM-X Single Cell 3' Chip Kit v4 (2) and a Chromium Xo, accessory kit and warranty.

 Purpose and Objectives: The Department of Pharmacology and Immunology at MUSC is participating in a NIH COBRE Grant project that requires single-cell RNA sequencing to define cell-type-specific transcriptional responses in intestinal epithelial, stem cell, immune, and neuroepithelial populations under experimental conditions relevant to mucosal defense and epithelial repair.

To support this work, the department requires a robust, reproducible, and well-validated single-cell RNA sequencing platform capable of capturing thousands of individual cells per sample, assigning unique molecular barcodes to transcripts by cell of origin, and generating sequencing-ready libraries for downstream bioinformatic analysis.

Sole Source Justification: The 10x Genomics Inc Chromium single-cell platform is specifically required because it provides an integrated and validated workflow for high-throughput single-cell partitioning, barcoding, cDNA generation, and library preparation. The platform utilizes proprietary Gel Bead-in-Emulsion (GEM) technology to encapsulate individual cells with uniquely barcoded gel beads, enabling accurate assignment of transcripts to their cell of origin.

This platform provides the high-throughput single-cell capture and transcript barcoding necessary for profiling complex intestinal tissues. The resulting data are directly compatible with 10x Genomics Inc Cell Ranger analysis pipelines and established downstream single-cell RNA sequencing workflows. The system supports reproducible processing across multiple samples, which is essential for valid comparison of experimental groups within the COBRE project.

Additionally, the Chromium platform is widely used by institutional sequencing cores and project collaborators, ensuring that generated data is directly comparable with existing and future datasets. Use of an alternative platform would disrupt study design, compromise data comparability, and require substantial redevelopment of established protocols.

The reagent kits, microfluidic chips, chemistry, and associated analysis software are proprietary to 10x Genomics Inc and are not interchangeable with products from other vendors. As such, these items must be procured from the original equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility, reproducibility, and continuity of the research.

Accordingly, 10x Genomics Inc is the only available source capable of meeting the scientific, technical, and compatibility requirements of this procurement.

QUESTIONS: Shall be addressed to the email address of the Procurement Officer indicated below.

 PROTESTS (MAY 2019): If you are aggrieved in connection with the intended award of this contract, you may be entitled to protest, but only as provided in §11-35-4210. To protest an intended award of a contract pursuant to §11-35-1560, you shall (i) notify the chief procurement officer in writing of your intent to protest within five (5) business days of the date this intent to award is posted, and (ii) if the appropriate chief procurement officer has been timely notified of your intent to protest, you may submit your actual protest within fifteen days of the date this notice of intent to award is posted. Days are calculated as provided in §11-35-310(13). Both protests and notices of intent to protest must be in writing and must be received by the appropriate Chief Procurement Officer within the time provided. The grounds of the protest and the relief requested must be set forth with enough particularity to give notice of the issues to be decided. 

 Any protest or notice of intent to protest must be addressed to the Chief Procurement Officer, Materials Management Office, and submitted in writing (a) by email to: protest-mmo@mmo.sc.gov or (b) by post or delivery to: 1201 Main Street, Suite 600, Columbia, SC 29201

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 Schools Learning Services intends to procure LETRS Facilitator Training from Lexia Learning Systems LLC to expand local certified facilitator capacity for district-led LETRS / K–3 Read to Succeed implementation pursuant to Act 114. SCDE guidance identifies LETRS as the state-selected professional learning program for required foundational literacy training, and participation in LETRS is required for K–3 certified educators and elementary administrators. SCDE guidance also identifies completion of LETRS Volumes 1 and 2, with required mastery levels, as an approved pathway toward the R2S Literacy Teacher endorsement. HCS currently has existing Local Certified Facilitators; however, additional facilitator capacity is needed to implement LETRS efficiently, consistently, and sustainably across the district, increase cohort availability, support Title I schools, and reduce reliance on a limited number of facilitators. LETRS Facilitator Training, certification, materials, digital platform access, and facilitator resources are proprietary to Lexia Learning Systems LLC. Only Lexia is authorized to train, assess, and certify LETRS facilitators and provide the official materials, platform access, assessments, and delivery protocols required for individuals to become certified LETRS facilitators. Other vendors may provide literacy, reading, or science-of-reading professional development; however, they cannot certify additional HCS staff as LETRS facilitators, authorize staff to deliver LETRS professional learning, or provide access to Lexia’s proprietary facilitator materials and platform resources. Substitution with another provider would not meet the District’s specific need because it would not produce additional certified LETRS facilitators or support the official LETRS implementation model selected and supported by SCDE. Accordingly, no other vendor is capable of providing the required LETRS Facilitator Training, certification pathway, platform access, and associated materials necessary to expand HCS’s local LETRS facilitator capacity. 

The anticipated value of this purchase is approximately $299,970.00, based on Quote #Q-728309-6 for 15 LETRS Facilitator Bundle licenses for Volume 1 and 15 LETRS Facilitator Bundle licenses for Volume 2, not to exceed $300,000.00 for the period July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027  

​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
