The procurement is designated as a single or sole source award without competitive bidding, justified by Carnegie Learning's integrated Professional Learning and ClearMath products and demonstrated success in improving reading and math proficiency within the district. No specific budget amount or pricing terms are disclosed in this notice. There are no set-asides or restrictions on responding organizations; however, interested firms must submit clear and convincing documentation demonstrating capability to meet or exceed stated requirements. The General Manager of Procurement Services and Procurement Officer retain sole discretion to determine whether competitive procurement is warranted based on responses identifying bona-fide competition. If no competing "like" services are identified, HCPS will recommend waiving traditional solicitation procedures and request School Board approval for the sole source award.
