This is a Notice of Intent to Sole Source from the School Board of Seminole County, Florida, Purchasing and Distribution Services Department. The School Board intends to procure Academic Parent-Teacher Teams (APTT) family engagement services, including coaching and technical support, exclusively from WestEd, a San Francisco-based organization. The procurement is conducted under Florida Administrative Code 6A-1.012(12)(d), which permits exemption from competitive solicitation for single-source products or services. Responses to challenge this sole source designation are due by July 10, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. Interested parties may submit notices of intent to protest or propose alternative vendors offering "like" or "comparable" products, with such submissions required to be emailed to Amanda Zarko, Senior Procurement Agent, at zarkoaz@scps.k12.fl.us. Decisions and recommendations will be posted on VendorLink within approximately one week following the response deadline. The sole source determination is valid for one year following School Board approval and must be revalidated and reposted annually.

The approximate annual expenditure for these services is $102,000. WestEd is identified as the incumbent vendor and sole source provider for this family engagement initiative. The procurement includes no explicit set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise provisions. All responses must include a completed cover sheet signed by an authorized agent of the provider, including company name, mailing address, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), telephone, facsimile, and email contact information. The School Board reserves the right to determine the equivalence of any alternative proposals submitted. Failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe constitutes a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes and School Board Rules.
