Hosting Services for Kronos Instance (Sole Source)

Clemson University intends to sole‑source a three‑month hosting agreement for its Kronos payroll system to Lentech. The university will cease active use of Kronos on July 1 2026 and requires Lentech to retain the hosted instance through the end of September 2026 while historical data is extracted and migrated to a new Workday environment or other storage solution. The justification cites cost avoidance—setting up a new hosting environment would exceed $30,000 and take longer than Lentech’s existing service. The contract value is $116,320, reflecting a short‑term, fixed‑price engagement to maintain continuity of data access. • Scope: Hosting & data‑retention services for Kronos instance (July 1 – Sep 30 2026). • Reason for sole source: Existing vendor already hosts the system; new provider would be costlier and slower. • Financials: Fixed price $116,320 for the three‑month period.
