Clemson University intends to sole-source the services of a virtual semester program at the School of Architecture's off-campus center in Genoa, Italy during the 2020/2021 academic year. Clemson University has an agreement/Memorandum of Understanding signed August 19, 2010 by the President of Clemson University and the President of the Clemson Architectural Foundation (CAF), and updated on June 3, 2019, whereby the CAF will support Clemson administratively for work and administrative contracts required at the Genoa, Italy facility. Due to the remote location of this facility, a vendor was required to maintain the location and cover program operations, and the CAF is the only vendor that can fulfill this contract. There is no other school or vendor that can coordinate this program overseas on behalf of the University. For these reasons, Clemson University is requesting a sole source at a total price of $76,794.19
