Sole Source Contract for Bidding System Extension

The Clemson University intends to enter into a sole source contract with Euna Solutions (Ionwave) for the extension of their current bidding system. The university is seeking to extend the contract due to the extension of full deployment of Clemson's new Workday ERP system along with the state's SC Pro. The bidding software is uniquely compatible with the university's current e-procurement system, BuyWays (Powered by Jaggaer). Implementing alternative bidding software from a different supplier would require costly and complex system integration with uncertain outcomes. Some key points to consider include: • The contract amount is $124,500 • The university is seeking to extend the contract for their current bidding system • The bidding software is uniquely compatible with the university's current e-procurement system • Implementing alternative bidding software would require costly and complex system integration • The university is justifying the sole source procurement due to the compatibility and integration requirements
