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:

The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Engineering and Facilities, pursuant to §11-35-1560(A) of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code, intends to award, without competition awarding a maintenance contract to C&C Boiler Sales and Services for the provision of parts, equipment, and labor associated with the maintenance and repair of the University's Cleaver-Brooks boiler systems. C&C Boiler Sales and Services is the sole manufacturer-authorized service provider for Cleaver-Brooks boilers in the Charleston area. As the exclusive authorized representative, the company is uniquely qualified to perform warranty-compliant repairs, maintenance, and diagnostics in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.  Additionally, C&C Boiler Sales and Services is the only authorized company certified to program and service the Hawk ICS control system, a proprietary Cleaver-Brooks platform installed on all Cleaver-Brooks boilers across the MUSC campus. Because the Hawk ICS system utilizes proprietary software and programming protocols, no other vendor is authorized or equipped to perform these services.  As the manufacturer-authorized representative, C&C Boiler Sales and Services has direct access to genuine OEM replacement parts, specialized equipment, factory technical support, and the latest manufacturer updates. Utilizing any other vendor could compromise system reliability, invalidate manufacturer warranties, delay repairs, and increase the risk of operational disruptions to critical campus infrastructure.
