Description
Piedmont Technical College (PTC) in Greenwood, SC is moving forward with a sole‑source procurement for a single license of Lightcast’s Skillabi software, a curriculum‑analytics platform that aligns academic programs with real‑time labor‑market data. The college has determined that Lightcast is the only vendor capable of delivering the required functionality, and therefore posted a notice of intent to award without competition, while still allowing alternate vendors to submit a response by the stated deadline. The contract value is estimated between $10,000 and $25,000. No on‑site work is required; the product is delivered electronically.
• One (1) Skillabi software license for curriculum‑to‑occupation alignment and skill‑gap analysis.
