Opportunity Overview
University of South Carolina HCL BigFix Software Renewal, Solicitation GS-IFB-270034-01, is an open information-technology procurement for annual renewal of software maintenance and technical support for USC’s existing HCL BigFix enterprise endpoint management platform.
Deadline and Funding
Bids are due September 17, 2026 at 11:00 AM. The official South Carolina Business Opportunities notice does not state a timezone, so Atlas does not infer one. No maximum contract value or total procurement ceiling is stated in the public notice reviewed by Atlas.
Vendor Requirements
This is a direct vendor procurement. USC directs offerors to its supplier portal for the complete solicitation, amendments, pricing, registration, technical-support, qualification, form, and electronic submission requirements. A Microsoft Teams pre-bid conference was scheduled for September 3, 2026. Because the detailed supplier package was not independently retrievable during this verification pass, Atlas does not invent additional mandatory requirements.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 50/100. This is a legitimate university enterprise-software renewal with a near-term deadline, but it is specialized endpoint-management maintenance and support.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform does not match HCL BigFix maintenance or endpoint-management support.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No clinical services or healthcare staffing are requested.
Direct-vendor disposition: no Dr. Miltie pursuit absent independently verified HCL BigFix reseller, maintenance, or technical-support qualifications.
Contact and Next Action
The procurement contact is Noelle Kelley at 803-544-1532 and nkelley1@sc.edu. Qualified vendors should review the current USC supplier-portal package and all amendments before submitting.
