Opportunity Overview
University of South Carolina Consulting Services for Comprehensive Technology Transfer Advisory and Operational Support Services, Solicitation GS-IFB-270024-01, is an open higher-education consulting procurement for as-needed technology-transfer advisory and operational support.
Deadline and Funding
Bids are due September 15, 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 aggregate procurement ceiling is stated in the official notice reviewed by Atlas.
Vendor Requirements
The University seeks a reliable and qualified consulting firm with relevant higher-education technology-transfer capability. Vendors should obtain the complete USC supplier-portal solicitation and verify qualifications, experience, references, pricing, required forms, amendments and electronic submission mechanics. SCBO identified a pre-bid meeting held August 27, 2026.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. The work is technology and commercialization related and therefore strategically closer to Dr. Miltie’s domain than routine facilities work, but the public notice does not establish a healthcare-device, clinical or Nonagon-specific scope.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The public solicitation notice does not establish a legitimate role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform.
QC Healthcare Fit: 0/100. No healthcare staffing or clinical services are requested.
Direct-vendor disposition: no automatic Dr. Miltie pursuit. Any direct-vendor evaluation would require the complete solicitation and independently verified technology-transfer consulting qualifications.
Contact and Next Action
The procurement contact is Ginger G Hardee at 803-777-6718 and gingerh@mailbox.sc.edu. Qualified consulting firms should obtain the complete supplier-portal package, verify all requirements and addenda, and submit before the stated deadline.
