Piedmont Technical College awarded a sole‑source contract to Electude USA LLC for a suite of digital automotive training products and site licenses supporting its Automotive Technology curriculum. The purchase provides 60 student licenses for Light‑Vehicle instructional modules, plus institutional site licenses for MotoLogic diagnostic data and Haynes repair manuals, all delivered digitally for a 12‑month period. The total contract value is $16,924.19, including sales tax. The procurement is justified on the basis that Electude uniquely offers an integrated simulation‑based curriculum that aligns with the college’s existing LMS and instructional design, and no comparable vendor could meet these combined requirements. • 60 student licenses for LV – Classroom AST/MAST modules ($13,167) • Institutional site licenses for MotoLogic and Haynes AllAccess ($1,650) • One‑year subscription term starting 1 Jan 2026, digital delivery only • Sole‑source justification under SC Code § 11‑35‑1560 due to lack of alternative providers.
