About this file
This is an Addendum to a Competitive Solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Tampa, Florida, modifying the Request for Information (RFI) for textbook management software. The RFI seeks a comprehensive software solution to organize and automate textbook inventory across the district's 236 schools, with functionality to check out and check in textbooks to teachers and students, track fines for lost or damaged materials, and synchronize with the district's student information system. HCPS currently manages approximately 1,789,070 textbooks and materials. Addendum 1, issued on January 20, 2026, extends the response deadline to Monday, January 26, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. The RFI is explicitly informational and will not result in a direct contract award; responses will be used solely for planning purposes toward a future competitive solicitation. Respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their submission.
The addendum includes clarifications that the district is currently in the information-gathering phase to guide next steps toward releasing an RFP, and addresses vendor inquiries regarding whether HCPS is seeking a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product similar to Destiny by Follett, the incumbent software scheduled to expire in June 2027. The RFI requires vendors to address background information, cost structures, hosting options, data security, system integration capabilities with existing platforms including the student information system (FOCUS), learning management system (Canvas), and ClassLink single sign-on, performance expectations, and migration strategies. No specific budget was provided, and no contract award or set-asides were designated through this RFI process.
