Notice Of Intent To Sole Source

Lander University is issuing a sole‑source notice to procure Sponsored Projects assistance through AppleOne Employment Services. The work supports post‑award grant administration, compliance monitoring, reporting, financial oversight, award documentation, closeout, and assistance to principal investigators. Because the required hourly rate exceeds the $30/hour ceiling of the State Term Contract, the university must source the services outside that contract. AppleOne will also handle employment onboarding, payroll administration, timekeeping, invoicing, required documentation, insurance coverage, and related workforce support for the temporary assignment. • Scope: Grant‑project management and administrative support for Lander University’s expanding sponsored‑projects portfolio. • Services: Payroll, onboarding, time‑keeping, invoicing, insurance, and general workforce administration for a temporary staff member. • Reason for sole source: Required compensation exceeds $30/hour limit of the existing state term contract, necessitating a direct award to a qualified vendor.
