Burlington_English_Sole_Source.pdf

This is a Sole Source procurement document for Burlington English, a standards-based, fully blended curriculum software product, issued by a Florida state or local education agency. The procurement seeks to acquire English language arts curriculum courses designed to meet diverse student needs through a fully integrated online and classroom delivery model. The document establishes a sole source justification for the direct award of this contract to Burlington English, indicating that the agency has determined this vendor's product offers unique educational features that cannot be readily obtained from competing suppliers. The specific quantities of licenses, implementation timeline, contract term, and any renewal options are addressed within the justification and supporting documentation for this non-competitive procurement.

The sole source determination likely addresses why competitive bidding was not pursued and provides the rationale for selecting Burlington English as the sole provider. Pricing terms, licensing fees, implementation costs, and any volume-based discounts or educational institution pricing would be negotiated directly with the vendor as part of the non-competitive award process. This procurement may be funded through the state education budget or specific curriculum improvement allocations, and the contract term would be established based on the agency's pedagogical needs and budget cycle requirements.
