Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Plastinated Animal Specimens for Clemson University College of Veterinary Medicine

Clemson University’s College of Veterinary Medicine is seeking to purchase plastinated animal specimens for instructional labs and demonstrations. Because the required specimens involve proprietary plastination techniques and specialized silicone rubber (HFCC101 Type 107) exclusive to Dalian‑Hoffen, the university has justified a sole‑source procurement under South Carolina law.

This procurement is intended to support veterinary education and laboratory training without the need for a competitive bid. • Plastinated animal specimens produced with Dalian‑Hoffen’s unique automatic glue‑injection and proprietary silicone rubber. • Sole‑source justification based on exclusive techniques and chemicals not available from other vendors. • Contract amount of $150,900.05 to supply the required specimens for the College of Veterinary Medicine’s labs.
