Notice Of Intent To Sole Source

Clemson University has issued a Notice of Intent to sole‑source a contract for three‑year maintenance services on an Alerton HVAC control system located in the Livestock Poultry Laboratory in Columbia, SC. Because the system can only be serviced by an authorized Alerton dealer, the university has identified Hoffman Building Technologies as the sole qualified vendor. The contract value is $67,151 and will cover both controls and mechanical portions of the HVAC system to preserve warranties, receive technical updates, and perform OEM repairs. • Sole‑source justification is based on the exclusive capability of Hoffman Building Technologies as the only Alerton dealer in South Carolina. • Scope of work includes preventive maintenance, technical training, manufacturer updates, and repair services for a three‑year period. • The notice provides contact details for the university’s procurement manager (April Pitts) and outlines protest procedures via the Materials Management Office.
