Clemson University intends to sole source a consultant to aid in submitting a joint CU-ICAR and IIT Gandhinagar (ITT-G) proposal to the Tata Trust Foundation for potential endowment and fellowships/ scholarships. A consultant is needed that is familiar with CU-ICAR and ITT-G, as well as familiar with the Tata Trust to increase the probability of a successful proposal. Dr. Khorana is the only consultant with these unique connections required for this work. He has worked directly with Mr. Tata, the overseer of ths Trust, as well as both schools (CU-ICAR and ITT- G). Dr. Khorona is the only person with a unique blend of experience and relationships with CU, IIT-G, and Tata Trusts that enable him to promote Clemson's interests in an academic focus area with a strategic geographic alignment. No other supplier has this unique skill set so no other supplier could even be considered. For these reasons, this is a sole source procurement.
