Patriots Point Development Authority Sole Source Contract for Flight Academy Simulator Expansion

This sole‑source contract awarded by Patriots Point Development Authority to Diagma US LLC funds the expansion of the Flight Academy classroom simulator program from seven to fifteen custom‑built flight simulators. The agency justifies the sole‑source award by noting that the simulators are uniquely designed and can only be fabricated by Diagma, and that the only competing bid was $2 million higher. The contract amount is listed as $15,360, indicating a fixed‑price arrangement for the additional simulators. • Sole‑source justification under South Carolina Code §11‑35‑1560. • Expansion adds eight new custom flight simulators for training purposes. • Vendor Diagma US LLC previously held the original contract and is the exclusive source for these simulators.
