EXTENSION OF AWARD POSTING.doc

This document is an Extension of Award Posting notice issued by the South Carolina Department of Health & Environmental Control (DHEC) for the Healthcare Quality Merger Services procurement (Solicitation Number 5400020394). The extension notification, dated February 22, 2021, and issued by Procurement Manager Whitney Carswell, indicates that additional time is necessary to complete the procurement process. The original award posting date has been extended to allow for completion of the evaluation and selection process. Offerors will receive prior notice before the actual award notice is posted, with a Notice of Revised Award Posting Date to be provided at least three business days in advance of the final award posting. This notice will be posted at the location specified in the original solicitation and emailed to all registered vendors at their provided email addresses.

No specific pricing terms, set-aside provisions, contract term length, or funding amounts are detailed in this extension notice. The document serves solely as a procedural notification that delays the award announcement timeline and establishes the communication protocol for notifying all participating offerors of the revised posting date. Interested parties should monitor the designated posting location and their registered email accounts for the Notice of Revised Award Posting Date as required by South Carolina Regulation 19-445.2090(B).
