Summary
Provide Service Center Consulting Service to its existing contract with Maximus Higher Education, Inc., for additional services related to the Space Survey and Facilities & Administrative(F&A) Cost Rate Proposal. The Medical University of South Carolina Grants and Contracts Accounting utilizes the MAXIMUS Comprehensive Rate Information System (CRIS) software to prepare the university's Facilities and Administrative rate proposal, which is required by federal regulations to be submitted for the determination of indirect cost reimbursement. This is a proprietary system, and the required vendor does not allow maintenance or support services to be provided outside of the company. A product change would not be cost-effective, and the historical trend would also be lost if a change were made.
