540028762 Intent.doc

This document is an Intent to Award notification from the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) for solicitation 5400028762, issued on 09/17/2025, for mail security scanning equipment. The procurement seeks four MailSecur Desktop Security Mail Scanner systems, with sealed offers due by 09/25/2025, and an award posting date of 10/01/2025. The awarded vendor is RaySecur Inc, who will provide four MS400-T1-MS400-PQ10 desktop scanners, each accompanied by a 60-month premium service plan, mobile cart, battery pack kit, shipping crate, and on-site installation and training. The systems will be deployed across four SCDC correctional institutions, with expected delivery within 12 weeks after purchase order receipt.

The total evaluated and awarded amount is $472,078.48, broken down into line items ranging from $3,600.48 to $275,760.00. The procurement appears to be a brand-justified, one-time purchase specifically for the MailSecur system, which can generate 4D imaging and detect nine postal threats identified by the Department of Homeland Security. The solicitation includes preference provisions for South Carolina resident vendors, SC and US end-products, with specific eligibility requirements. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, disadvantaged enterprise set-asides, or specific funding sources. The contract does not indicate any renewal options and seems to be a standalone equipment acquisition for mail security enhancement in correctional facilities.
