SEON Software (Sole Source S2.27)

This contract is a sole‑source procurement by Richland County School District One for SEON video‑surveillance software that will run on existing SEON camera hardware installed on district buses. The district determined that only SEON software is compatible, and replacing the hardware to accommodate another vendor would be prohibitively expensive. The total contract value is $16,600.50, well below the $50,000 public‑notice threshold, so no mandatory posting is required. The procurement was certified on 30 June 2026 by the Department Head, the Procurement Official (Peyton Flewelling), and the Superintendent/Chief Procurement Officer (Carolyn Ligh Hodges). • Scope: Provide SEON software licenses for bus video‑surveillance, enabling secure login and video capture. • Justification: Compatibility with existing SEON hardware; switching vendors would require costly hardware replacement. • Financials: Fixed‑price total of $16,600.50; no public‑notice or protest period required due to low value.
