Sole Source Contract for Enhancing SC Vital Records and Statistics Integrated Information System

The Department of Public Health intends to enter into a sole source contract with Genesis Systems, Inc. to enhance the existing SC Vital Records and Statistics Integrated Information System (SC VRSIIS) by expanding interoperability capabilities within the Genesis Interoperability Module (GIM). The proposed enhancement will enable real-time, bi-directional transmission of Birth and Fetal Death records to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) using HL7 FHIR standards, improving efficiency, data quality, and compliance with evolving federal reporting requirements. • The contract amount is $209,932.00. • The enhancement can only be performed by Genesis Systems because they own the proprietary source code for VRSIIS. • The agency's justification for a sole source procurement can be viewed or obtained by contacting Tripp Clark. • Protests must be filed within 15 days of the notice being posted, which was on February 4, 2026.
