Exhibit "A" is a Tentative Schedule of Events for Invitation to Bid (ITB) #24250087B-VG issued by Seminole County Public Schools, focused on procuring art supplies for the district's educational programs. The ITB outlines a comprehensive procurement timeline from April 2, 2025, to May 13, 2025, with key dates including a voluntary pre-solicitation WebEx meeting on April 7, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, a question submission deadline on April 8, 2025, before 1:00 PM EST, and bid submissions due on April 16, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST during a public meeting. The solicitation seeks to establish multiple awards to responsive and responsible bidders for art supplies, with the contract effective upon Board approval on May 13, 2025, and potential for a one-year renewal.

The procurement targets a comprehensive range of art materials for 67,000 students across 67 educational facilities, requiring exact matches or approved equivalents for 78 line items with specific brand requirements. While no explicit set-aside designations are mentioned, the ITB allows the School Board to award the bid all or none, by lot, by partial lot, or by item to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s). The Price Schedule indicates estimated quantities ranging from 10 to 4,600 units per item, suggesting a potentially significant procurement value. Vendors must submit various attachments including Drug-Free Workplace Certification, References, Debarment Certification, and Conflict of Interest Disclosure, with potential vendors including national distributors like Blick Art Materials, School Specialty, and ODP Business Solutions.
