Sole Source Contract for Intellectual Property Services – Medical University of South Carolina

This notice announces a sole‑source procurement by the Medical University of South Carolina to award Anthony Mannarino a $250,000 contract for remuneration fees related to the intellectual property of the Childhood Traumatic Grief (CTG) treatment model. The contract will enable MUSC’s Institute of Psychiatry National Crime Victims Center to develop and operate CTGWeb2.0, an online training portal that disseminates evidence‑based treatment protocols to mental‑health providers. Because the training content relies on proprietary methods owned by the developers, the university justifies a single source award, asserting that no alternative vendor can provide the required authorized access. Key points: • Sole‑source award under South Carolina procurement code §11‑35‑1560 • Vendor: Anthony Mannarino (individual) • Scope: Intellectual‑property licensing and development of an online training platform for CTG treatment • Contract value: $250,000
