The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

The Clemson University Youth Learning Institute has several Yurt Villages in all YLI locations. The Yurts were purchased several years ago from The Colorado Yurt Company, now called Secret Creek. “Yurt” is a generic term for a round tent comprised of lattice walls and a domed covering. All of the Yurts in our Camps across the State are comprised of the same fabric covering/materials/walls/windows etc. and the Youth Learning Institute requires the Yurts to be standard across the State and is requesting the purchase of Yurt replacement parts for the existing Yurts in need of repair. The only compatible interchangeable parts for the existing Yurts can only be purchased from Secret Creek, the manufacturer of the Yurts, and for these reasons listed this is a sole source request. The total value of this purchase is $.32,710.00.
