Sole Source Contract for VisionSC Digital Twin Platform

The South Carolina Department of Commerce (SCDOC) issued a sole‑source notice to award a three‑year contract to Equitas Technologies, LLC for the statewide deployment of VisionSC, a proprietary digital‑twin platform that aggregates site, infrastructure, and community data to promote economic development. Equitas will retain ownership of the source code and system architecture, while SCDOC receives rights to the delivered product; no other vendor can legally expand or maintain the system, justifying the sole‑source approach. The contract’s total value is $5,499,772 and includes full accountability, security, and ongoing innovation for the platform’s expansion across the state. • Purpose‑built digital twin solution aimed at marketing South Carolina to businesses and stakeholders. • Exclusive ownership and maintenance rights retained by Equitas, requiring sole‑source procurement. • Three‑year term with a fixed‑price budget of approximately $5.5 million.
