About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification letter from the School District of Manatee County, Florida's Purchasing Department, dated February 3, 2025, authorizing procurement of Apple products and services without competitive bidding. The district is seeking to purchase Apple products and services, including iPads/tablets, computers, and software/licensing for the Information Technology department and various school sites. The certification indicates that these products are available only from Apple, Inc., and justifies the sole source procurement method under Florida School Board Administrative Rule 6A-1.012 and the district's purchasing policies. Following completion of this certification, a 15 business day public posting process will commence in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3) to allow for potential challenges to the sole source designation.
No specific pricing, contract terms, renewal options, or funding sources are detailed in the certification document. The letter does not specify quantities, delivery timelines, or the total contract value. The document references an attached sole source letter from Apple as supporting documentation but does not include the supplier's justification for the sole source claim within this certification form itself. Award date and contract term information are not provided in this filing.
