Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Healthcare Simulation Platform Procurement

Coastal Carolina University is procuring a comprehensive healthcare simulation platform to support clinical education, assessment, and competency development across its health‑related programs. The platform must deliver immersive clinical scenarios, support both VR and standard computing environments, enable independent learner participation without continuous instructor facilitation, provide measurable performance outcomes tied to clinical competencies, and allow faculty to develop, modify, and deploy simulation content. The sole‑source award to Oxford Medical Simulation Inc. reflects a value of $51,856.20 and is justified under South Carolina Code Ann. §11‑35‑1560. • Required capabilities: immersive, VR‑compatible, self‑paced simulation with performance analytics. • Intended outcome: expand training capacity, maintain instructional consistency, reduce reliance on limited simulation labs. • Procurement method: sole source, no competitive bidding, with a single vendor award.
