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 Sole Source Section 1560 of the Charleston County School District Procurement Code, Charleston County School District intends to award a two year contract without competition for the procurement groundwater well construction, water system integration, testing, and related services from H.M.
