Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Expansion of Rauland TCU Full IP System at Lancaster County Schools

The Lancaster County School District is proceeding with a sole‑source award to Ronco Specialized Systems, Inc. to expand the existing Rauland TCU full‑IP communication system across two high schools—Lancaster High School and Andrew Jackson High School. Ronco, as the exclusive Rauland Education Distributor for the region, will provide the necessary hardware, software, installation, and integration services to enhance the district’s audio‑visual and intercom capabilities. The contract value is approximately $108,140, reflecting a fixed‑price arrangement for the complete scope of work. This procurement bypasses competitive bidding under South Carolina Code Ann. §11‑35‑1560 because Ronco is the only qualified distributor for the required technology. • Scope: hardware acquisition, system installation, configuration, and testing for a full‑IP TCU solution at two high schools. • Procurement method: sole‑source award justified by exclusive distribution rights. • Financials: fixed‑price contract of $108,139.70; no renewal or term details disclosed.
