The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Controller’s Office with §11-35-1560 (A) of the SC Consolidated Procurement Code, intends to award without competition, a sole source contract to Syntellis Performance Solutions, LLC. MUSC is seeking a tool that can process large volume of transactions in order to meet the needs of our colleges and units on campus. The Axiom Commitment Planning tool can manage large volumes of transactions; thereby allowing the users to budget in a more efficient manner. To MUSC’s knowledge there is no other Commitment Planning solution being offered in the market today and nothing specifically for higher-education. Further the Commitment Planning solution must be compatible with the existing budgeting system or meet the criteria above.
Any responsible sources who wish to identify their interest and capability to provide these services must notify the Procurement Officer at singlewa@musc.edu no later than February 13, 2023, (12:00 a.m. EST). Telephone responses will not be accepted. Upon receipt of the interested parties' notification, the Procurement Officer will determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement or proceed with sole source negotiations.
