South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code
South Carolina · State Budget System · §§ 11-35-10 to 11-35-845 · 143 sections
Overview
The South Carolina Consolidated Procurement Code governs how state agencies acquire supplies, services, and other goods, setting the ground rules for who may contract on the state's behalf and how those contracts are formed. It establishes a range of source-selection methods — competitive sealed bidding, fixed-price and best-value bidding, online bidding, sealed proposals, competitive negotiations, small-purchase procedures, and sole-source and emergency procurements — along with rules for bidder responsibility, prequalification, cost and pricing data, and cancellation of solicitations. It also provides administrative infrastructure around procurement, including training and certification of procurement personnel, advisory groups, data collection, auditing and fiscal reporting, administrative penalties, multiterm and other contract types, and authority to promulgate implementing regulations.
