PTC auditing services

Piedmont Technical College (PTC), part of the South Carolina Technical College System, is seeking a comprehensive auditing services contract for a five-year period covering fiscal years ending June 30, 2026 through 2030. The procurement is structured as a Request for Proposal (RFP) for financial statement auditing services, with specific requirements including conducting audits in accordance with government auditing standards, preparing a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, and performing a State Lottery Tuition Assistance Program review. The selected auditing firm must maintain an office within 100 miles of the college's main campus in Greenwood, SC. Evaluation of proposals will be based on three primary factors: qualifications and experience (40 points), technical proposal (35 points), and cost proposal (25 points), with a focus on identifying qualified respondents before considering price. Key dates include a non-mandatory pre-bid Zoom meeting on 10/29/2025, proposal submissions due by 11/24/2025, and an anticipated award date of 12/15/2025. The contract will be initially awarded for one year with four potential one-year renewals, allowing for a maximum contract duration of five years.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the procurement appears to be open to qualified auditing firms meeting the geographical and technical requirements. The college's financial data reveals total operating revenues of $23,353,228 and total operating expenses of $61,332,867, suggesting a significant scope of work for the selected auditor. The successful proposer will be required to deliver a preliminary draft report by September 1st annually, with final reports due by September 30th, and must comply with reporting requirements for the State Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education and the State Comptroller General's Office. No information about incumbent vendors is provided in the documentation. The contract will require the selected firm to produce comprehensive financial audits, including detailed reviews of federal and state grant funding, with deliverables that meet strict state-level reporting standards.
