Title: Intent to Sole Source - Literacy Pro
Purchasing Agent/Entity: Department of Education
Bid/Submittal Due Date: July 27, 2021 - 5:00pm
Description:

The South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) intends to secure a Maintenance agreement for S.C. Adult Education Database with Literacy Pro Systems, to provide maintenance, hosting, modules and training of a proprietary software for one year. The total potential value for this annual contract is $182,000.

 

SCDE procured licensing for Literacy Pro Systems (LACES) through a competitive process. This procurement is for hosting and support of the LACES program. The system allows the SCDE Office of Adult Education to work with students to self-sufficiency through software by providing tracking, accountability, and engagement designed specifically for adult education. Transition to a new system would be cost-prohibitive. Continued maintenance and support is of paramount consideration for this particular procurement.
 

Should you have concerns with this intent, please send your responses via e-mail to SC Department of Education, Attn.: Elsie Montgomery, Procurement Director, at EMontgomery@ed.sc.gov for this Intent to Sole Source no later than the date and time indicated here.
