Additional Details
The Berkeley County School District has announced its intent to enter into a sole source contract with Primex Inc. for the furnishing and installation of synchronized clock systems at two new schools and one renovated school within the district. This procurement is valued at $66,000 and is being conducted in accordance with S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560, which governs sole source acquisitions in the state of South Carolina.
The primary purpose of this procurement is to ensure the continued standardization and seamless integration of timekeeping systems across all district facilities. The District has previously adopted the Primex synchronized clock system as its standard, and this proprietary technology is already embedded within the existing infrastructure. By extending the use of Primex systems to new and renovated campuses, the District aims to maintain compatibility, consistency, and centralized management of its timekeeping operations. This approach minimizes operational disruptions and supports efficient facility management.
Key requirements of this procurement include the supply and professional installation of Primex’s proprietary synchronized clock systems at the specified school sites. The expected deliverables are fully operational, integrated clock systems that align with the District’s current technology standards. The District’s justification for a sole source award is based on the proprietary nature of the Primex system, which is only available directly from Primex Inc., the sole authorized provider. This ensures that the new installations will be fully compatible with existing systems and that ongoing support and maintenance can be streamlined.
The contracting entity for this procurement is the Berkeley County School District, a state entity located in Moncks Corner, South Carolina (State Code: SC). The procurement is managed by Lisa Burke, Agency Procurement Manager, who can be contacted at [email protected] or by telephone at 843-899-8600. Any questions regarding the justification for the sole source procurement may be directed to Ms. Burke.
This notice also outlines the process for filing protests. Any actual or prospective bidder, offeror, contractor, or subcontractor who is aggrieved by the intended award may notify the chief procurement officer in writing within five business days of the notice posting. Protests must be addressed to Marcie Abrahamson, either by email at [email protected] or by post/hand delivery to P.O. Box 128, Moncks Corner, SC 29461.
This procurement is not set aside for any particular business classification, and no additional special considerations or classification codes are specified in the notice. The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition due to the proprietary and trademarked nature of the Primex technology and the District’s need for system-wide compatibility.
Contractors considering this opportunity should note that the scope is limited to the supply and installation of Primex synchronized clock systems at designated school sites, and that only Primex Inc. is authorized to provide this technology. The contract is expected to deliver long-term operational consistency and centralized management benefits for the District’s facilities.
