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 Section 1560 of the Berkeley County School District Procurement Code, the school district intends to award without competition, a contract for replacement football helmets to Riddell for the period of January 30, 2023 to December 31, 2023.  The potential value of this purchase is estimated at $60,000, but will not exceed $95,000.  The amount ordered will be contingent upon the number of helmets to be replaced.  BCSD helmets are reconditioned annually, and helmets deemed "unsafe" must be replaced.  Several of the district's high school utilize Riddell helmets; therefore, replacement helmets must be purchased from Riddell to match existing helmets.  Riddell is the sole manufacturer and distributor of their helmets; therefore, no third party distributors are available to compete this acquisition.  If anyone is aggrieved by this intended, you have the right to protest per Section 4210 of the BCSD Procurement Code.  If you have any questions, please contact Marcie Abrahamson by email at marcie@bcsdschools.net no later than 4:00pm on January 27, 2023.
