Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Greenville County School District is issuing a sole‑source contract to Trane for the procurement of proprietary HVAC digital control systems required to interface with existing building infrastructure. The contract amount is listed at $150,000, and the agency justifies the sole‑source award under South Carolina Code Ann. §11‑35‑1560 because no other system can service the existing equipment. The procurement manager, Cynthia Niswonger, is the primary point of contact, while protests must be directed to the chief procurement officer, Robin Stack. • Sole‑source award for HVAC digital controls (proprietary technology) • Vendor: Trane (factory‑authorized representative) • Contract value: $150,000 • Agency: Greenville County School District, SC
