About this file
This is a Single Source Advertisement filed by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) for the procurement of user licenses for n2y software products. FSDB seeks licenses for three proprietary products: L3 Skills, Unique Learning System, and News-2-You for the fiscal year 2026-2027. L3 Skills is an online skills practice resource that provides academic and transition skills-based practice through interactive games designed for individuals with special needs. The Unique Learning System is an age-respectful online curriculum product developed specifically for individuals with special needs. News-2-You is a weekly current events newspaper that combines published and interactive standards-based content to serve a range of reading comprehension skills applicable in classroom settings. The advertisement was posted on July 21, 2026, at 4:00 PM and runs through August 11, 2026, at 4:00 PM, providing a statutory fifteen business day advertisement period for interested vendors to respond. No competitive bidding process, site visits, or bidders' conferences are applicable to this sole source procurement.
The estimated not-to-exceed dollar amount for this procurement is $15,000.00. The intended single source provider is Everway n2y, LLC, located at P.O. Box 550 in Huron, Ohio 44839. FSDB designates this as a sole source acquisition because n2y is the exclusive publisher and copyright holder of all three requested products; no other source exists for these proprietary applications. Vendors believing they can fulfill the procurement requirements must contact Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org during the fifteen business day advertising period. The Agency reserves the right to determine whether to proceed with this single source procurement or conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received.
