About this file
This document is a Single Source Advertisement for the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB), seeking to procure Florida science curriculum materials from McGraw Hill for fiscal year 2025-2026. The advertisement, numbered SS-25-086, will be open from April 10, 2025, at 4:00 PM to May 1, 2025, at 4:00 PM, with an estimated not-to-exceed contract value of $100,000.00. The procurement is specifically for educational textbooks and materials for all grades, with McGraw Hill being the intended sole source provider due to their status as the copyright holder of the Florida Science materials.
The procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive solicitation under Florida Statutes, with McGraw Hill located at 8787 Orion Place in Columbus, OH. The agency is required to provide a fifteen-business-day advertisement period during which potential vendors can challenge the single-source determination by demonstrating their ability to supply equivalent commodities or services. The primary contact for questions is Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, who can be reached at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org. Vendors who do not file a protest within the prescribed timeframe will be considered to have waived their right to challenge the procurement process.
