About this file

This document is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source issued by the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, specifically for procurement of Academic Parent-Teacher Teams (APTT) family engagement services. The notice, dated June 30, 2025, outlines the school board's intent to purchase family engagement, coaching, and technical support services directly from WestEd, located in San Francisco, CA. The procurement is being conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-1.012(12)(d), which allows exemption from competitive solicitation for single-source products or services. The response deadline is set for July 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, with potential vendors invited to submit alternative proposals demonstrating "like" or "comparable" products.

The annual expenditure for these services is approximately $102,000, with the sole source decision valid for one year after School Board approval and requiring annual re-posting and validation. The procurement process allows for potential vendors to challenge the sole source designation by submitting a notice of intent to protest via email to the purchasing contact, Amanda Zarko, before the specified due date. Decisions and recommendations regarding responses will be posted on VendorLink, typically within one week after the response due date. WestEd is currently positioned as the incumbent vendor for these family engagement services, with the procurement focusing on comprehensive academic parent-teacher engagement strategies that include coaching and technical support.
