Opportunity Overview
STC MICROSCOPES, 5400030177, is an open South Carolina State Fiscal Accountability Authority procurement for microscopes. The opportunity is relevant to Atlas’s healthcare/education monitoring because microscopes are laboratory and medical/research equipment, although the public SCBO advertisement does not identify a specific end-user institution.
Deadline and Contact
The official South Carolina Business Opportunities listing gives a deadline of September 21, 2026 at 11:00 AM. The listing does not state a timezone, so Atlas does not infer one. Direct inquiries to Portia Davis at pdavis@mmo.sc.gov.
Vendor Requirements and Submission
The SCBO advertisement itself does not state a maximum contract value, quantities, detailed microscope specifications, eligibility, registrations, manufacturer/dealer requirements, service requirements, pricing method, or complete submission mechanics. The linked SCEIS solicitation package and all amendments are controlling and must be reviewed before a bid is prepared.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 63/100. This is a South Carolina public procurement for laboratory/medical-research equipment with potentially broad governmental relevance, but the accessible controlling advertisement is sparse and no verified Dr. Miltie microscope distribution capability is established.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The solicitation is for microscopes, not remote physical-examination technology.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No clinical staffing requirement is established.
Direct-vendor disposition: no pursuit absent verified microscope manufacturer/distributor authorization and full compliance with the controlling SCEIS package.
