The award will be made after a public opening of offers, with the contract period running from mid‑December 2024 through mid‑December 2027, with two optional one‑year renewals. Vendors must be registered in the South Carolina vendor system and submit a complete price proposal covering hourly rates for inspection staff, unit prices for testing items, equipment rental rates, and an administrative fee.

• Pricing is detailed per‑hour for various inspection specialties and per‑test for laboratory services; equipment rentals are also priced.
• The contract is “use‑as‑needed” via purchase orders; there is no overall dollar ceiling, but vendors must be able to meet the unit‑price schedule and provide required insurance and certifications.
