Software AG Sole Source Procurement

This is a sole source procurement document for the State of South Carolina related to Software AG products and services. The document establishes the procurement parameters for acquiring Software AG software solutions on a sole source basis, indicating that Software AG has been determined to be the only practicable source for the required software capabilities. The procurement specifies the software products and licensing terms necessary to meet the state's technical requirements, though specific quantities, response deadlines, and award timelines are referenced within the supporting documentation and contract terms.

The procurement is structured as a sole source award, meaning competitive bidding was not pursued due to the unique and proprietary nature of Software AG's solutions and their integration with existing South Carolina systems. Pricing terms are to be negotiated directly with Software AG based on the state's licensing and support requirements. The contract terms, including any renewal options and funding sources, are detailed in the associated procurement documents and will be subject to standard South Carolina purchasing regulations and approval processes. This sole source determination reflects the state's assessment that Software AG's specific technology platform is essential to meeting the identified business and technical objectives.
