About this file

This document is Amendment One to an Invitation for Bid issued by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for Courier Services under Solicitation 5400030133. The amendment modifies key deadlines and dates from the original solicitation. The service involves daily scheduled courier operations between three locations in the Columbia and Anderson areas, transporting printed media, magnetic media, and special envelopes containing personally identifiable information and protected health information. Normal daily volumes consist of five cases of paper with potential monthly peaks of twenty-five cases per delivery, with no single item exceeding thirty pounds. Service is required on Mondays and Wednesdays, excluding holidays and weekends, with specified arrival and delivery time windows. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM via Microsoft Teams, with questions due by September 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM. The amended offer submission deadline is October 28, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, and award is anticipated November 6, 2028. The contract consists of an initial two-year term plus three one-year renewal options, for a maximum five-year period.

Mandatory qualifications include South Carolina certifications, licenses, and permits for for-hire motor vehicle carriers; appropriate business licenses for the primary location's city and county; and a minimum of three documented years of experience performing similar courier services. The contractor must maintain at least one regular driver and a backup driver, provide secure locked transportation, maintain confidentiality and security of all materials, and sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with breach notification requirements. Award will be made to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder using fixed monthly pricing. The contractor must provide its own parking and associated costs. Bidders must submit a signed solicitation cover page, a detailed narrative statement demonstrating qualifications with references, and insurance policy summaries. Nonresident contractors are subject to 2% income tax withholding under South Carolina Code Section 12-8-550 unless registered with the Department of Revenue.

PREFERENCES - NOTICE TO VENDORS (SEP. 2009): On June 16, 2009, the South Carolina General Assembly rewrote the law governing preferences available to in-state vendors, vendors using in-state subcontractors, and vendors selling in-state or US end products. This law appears in Section 11-35-1524 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. A summary of the new preferences is available at www.procurement.sc.gov/preferences . ALL THE PREFERENCES MUST BE CLAIMED AND ARE APPLIED BY LINE ITEM, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AWARD IS MADE BY

ITEM OR LOT. VENDORS ARE CAUTIONED TO CAREFULLY REVIEW THE STATUTE BEFORE

CLAIMING ANY PREFERENCES. THE REQUIREMENTS TO QUALIFY HAVE CHANGED. IF YOU

REQUEST A PREFERENCE, YOU ARE CERTIFYING THAT YOUR OFFER QUALIFIES FOR THE

PREFERENCE YOU'VE CLAIMED. IMPROPERLY REQUESTING A PREFERENCE CAN HAVE SERIOUS

CONSEQUENCES. [11-35-1524(E)(4)&(6)]

PREFERENCES - ADDRESS AND PHONE OF IN-STATE OFFICE: Please provide the address and phone number for your in-state office in the space provided below.
