Notice of Intent to Sole Source – Agilent iLab Solutions Licenses for Clemson University

Clemson University is issuing a sole‑source procurement to Agilent Technologies for extensions of iLab Solutions software licenses that support scheduling and billing across multiple core facilities. The licenses integrate with the university’s existing PeopleSoft accounting system and the upcoming Workday platform. The university cites extensive prior RFP work, cost‑benefit analysis, and an estimated $500,000 expense to switch vendors, justifying the sole‑source award. The contract value is $214,595 and covers the renewal of modules that directly interface with the iLab platform. • Vendor: Agilent Technologies – provider of iLab Solutions. • Scope: License extensions for core‑facility scheduling/billing software integrated with PeopleSoft and Workday. • Justification: No viable alternative; switching costs would be prohibitive. • Procurement type: Sole source under South Carolina Code §11‑35‑1560.
