Intent to sole source - therap services

South Carolina Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (OIDD), is issuing an intent to sole source Electronic Health Record (EHR) software services to Therap Services, LLC with an offer submission deadline of October 17, 2026—already passed as of the posting date. This is a sole-source procurement with no competitive bidding.

The scope extends OIDD's existing one-year Therap contract for EHR software supporting collection and management of demographic information, assessments, service plans, and waiver authorizations across the state. The system enables OIDD and its provider network to track services for individuals, meet state and federal requirements, and support State Oversight functionality, case management, provider services, billing, and reporting. The sole-source justification rests on extensive system integration throughout OIDD and its provider network; transitioning to an alternative platform during the contract period would disrupt ongoing operations.

The potential contract value is $1,268,245. Submissions are required online at http://www.procurement.sc.gov. The procurement is governed by South Carolina Code sections 11-35-1560 and 11-35-4210. Because the value exceeds $500,000, cost or pricing data must be documented in the procurement file. The vendor must provide Drug Free Workplace Act certification.

Interested parties may protest the intended award by notifying the Chief Procurement Officer, Materials Management Office, in writing within ten business days of the intent posting (October 9, 2026). Formal protests must be submitted within fifteen days to protest-mmo@mmo.state.sc.us or by mail to 1201 Main Street, Suite 600, Columbia, SC 29201.
