Health risk screening- FY 22

The South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (SCDDSN) is pursuing a sole source procurement for comprehensive health risk screening services for Fiscal Year 2022. The procurement specifically involves four integrated components from IntellectAbility: virtual person-centered thinking trainings, person-centered thinking training e-learn licensing with learning management system maintenance, electronic person-centered description database access, and health risk screening tool active record access. The solicitation targets a proprietary set of electronic services uniquely developed for DDSN, with the Health Risk Screening Tool being exclusive intellectual property owned by IntellectAbility. The submission deadline is July 22, 2021, at 10:00 AM, with online submissions required through http://www.procurement.sc.gov. Prospective bidders must follow specific protest protocols, with the right to file written protests within ten business days of award notification, and detailed protests due within fifteen days of the posted award date.

The procurement is structured as a sole source contract without competitive bidding, authorized under South Carolina Code sections 11-35-1560 and 11-35-4210. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract appears to be limited to IntellectAbility as the sole provider, given the proprietary nature of the electronic systems and training materials. While no specific contract value is detailed, the procurement requires a Drug-free Workplace certification for amounts exceeding $50,000. The procurement covers Richland County and is intended to maintain operational consistency across the provider network, leveraging existing training infrastructure and electronic systems that DDSN staff and provider networks have already integrated. The contract represents a continuation of an existing relationship, with the procurement officer Candis Golston serving as the primary point of contact, reachable at 803-898-9666 or candis.golston@ddsn.sc.gov.
