Sole Source Justification for Bentley Systems

This is a Sole Source Justification document prepared by the State of South Carolina for the procurement of Bentley Systems software and services. The document outlines the rationale for selecting a single vendor rather than pursuing competitive bidding. The procurement involves software licensing and related services from Bentley Systems, a specialized provider in infrastructure engineering software solutions. The justification details the technical requirements and necessity for this specific vendor's products to meet the state's operational and project management needs. No specific contract term, renewal options, response dates, or award dates are detailed in this justification document.

The document establishes that Bentley Systems products are uniquely suited to South Carolina's requirements based on technical specifications, compatibility with existing systems, and the vendor's specialized expertise in the infrastructure and engineering sectors. The sole source justification framework typically addresses why competition is impractical or impossible and why this vendor represents the most cost-effective solution despite the non-competitive procurement method. Specific pricing, funding sources, budget amounts, and contract duration terms would be contained in the associated procurement documents or purchase orders; however, these details are not included in this sole source justification file itself.
