This sole‑source procurement by the South Carolina Department of Corrections seeks to continue using Verenesics’ pre‑employment screening platform, a software solution that meets SCDC’s specific requirements for vetting correctional staff. The contract value is $70,000, and the agency justifies the sole‑source award under South Carolina Code Ann. §11‑35‑1560 because Verenesics is already the incumbent provider. • Sole‑source award for a pre‑employment screening SaaS solution • Vendor: Verenesics (currently implemented) • Contract amount: $70,000; no additional terms or renewal language disclosed • Contact: Agency procurement manager Myrtle K. deWerdt (email and phone provided) • Procurement justified under state code, with protest procedures outlined for interested parties.
