The procurement is being pursued as a sole source acquisition under Florida School Board Administrative Rule 6A-1.012 and the district's purchasing policies, based on the assertion that these items and services are available only from the specified vendor. Following completion of this certification, a 15 business day posting process will commence in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3) to allow for public notice of the sole source determination.

No specific pricing information, contract term, renewal options, budget amounts, or funding sources are detailed in the certification document. The letter does not identify particular quantities of equipment or supplies, response deadlines, or award dates. The document serves primarily as formal authorization to proceed with the sole source procurement without competitive bidding, with the actual justification for the sole source determination referenced as being contained in an attached supplier letter that is not included in this file.
