About this file

This is Amendment Two to a Request for Proposal issued by the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control for turnkey asymptomatic COVID-19 testing services for all South Carolina schools. The solicitation (5400021576) requests both PCR and antigen testing services structured across four event-size categories: small events with fewer than 75 tests, mid-size events with 75-200 tests, large events with 201-500 tests, and extra-large events with 500 or more tests. Each category requires separate pricing for both test types as all-inclusive testing costs. The original offer submission deadline was 07/22/2021 at 2:30 PM ET, with award notification scheduled for 07/29/2021. The amendment revises the bidding schedule and supersedes previous versions, requiring offerors to acknowledge receipt of Amendment Two when submitting their bids. No pre-bid conference, bidders conference, or site visit is applicable to this solicitation.

Invoicing is based on actual tests performed during each event, with contractors permitted to bill for the approved minimum daily quantity of tests if actual performance falls below that threshold. The solicitation does not specify contract term duration, renewal options, or funding amounts in this amendment document. South Carolina preferences do not apply to this procurement per Section 11-35-1524, Part (E)(5) of the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code. Offerors must submit signed acknowledgments of all amendments received and maintain their offers for a minimum of thirty calendar days following the opening date. Bids must be submitted online through www.procurement.sc.gov with a completed cover page and acknowledgment of amendments section returned with the offer.

PREFERENCES - A 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

Preferences do not apply per South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code Section 11-35-1524, Part (E)(5).

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. An in-state office is necessary to claim either the Resident Vendor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(i)&(ii)) or the Resident Contractor Preference (11-35-1524(C)(1)(iii)). Accordingly, you must provide this information to qualify for the preference.
