About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification letter from the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department, dated January 30, 2026, documenting the district's request to procure equipment training systems for Aviation Systems from Avotek without issuing a competitive bid. The certification indicates that the requested equipment training systems are available only from the specified vendor and justifies the sole source procurement method. Following completion of this certification, the district will initiate a 15 business day posting process in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3) to allow for potential protests before proceeding with the purchase.
The document establishes the legal framework for the procurement under Florida School Board Administrative Rules 6A-1.012 and the School District of Manatee County's purchasing regulations. No specific pricing, quantities, delivery timelines, or contract terms are detailed in the certification letter itself; however, the process outlined requires posting of the sole source justification to provide transparency and allow interested parties an opportunity to file protests within the timeframe prescribed by Florida Statutes Chapter 120 prior to award.
