Statement of Non Award.docx

This is a Statement of Non-Award issued by the South Carolina Department of Corrections for Solicitation 5400023216 regarding a Press Brake procurement. The solicitation was issued on April 26, 2022, with an opening date of May 24, 2022. No award is being made due to the absence of responsive bidders. A new solicitation for this press brake equipment will be advertised at a later date. The procurement was managed by Buyer Brittany Driggers and Director of Procurement Ruthie H. Bishop, CPPB.

Due to the lack of responsive bids received, this solicitation did not proceed to contract award. The South Carolina Department of Corrections will re-advertise the press brake requirement through a subsequent solicitation to solicit qualified vendors capable of meeting the agency's specifications and requirements.
