About this file

This document is a Sole Source Certification from the School District of Manatee County's Purchasing Department in Bradenton, Florida, dated June 25, 2025. The certification is for Elevate K-12 to provide virtual school instruction services for schools within the district, following the content classes offered. The document indicates that the district is seeking to purchase these services without issuing a traditional bid call, leveraging a sole source procurement method allowed under Florida School Board Administrative rules.

The certification triggers a 15-business day posting process in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3), during which potential vendors or interested parties can review and potentially challenge the sole source designation. The services are intended to be performed across various district sites, with the scope limited to virtual school instruction that adheres to the district's existing content class offerings. The document includes a space for justification (referencing an attached vendor letter) and is signed by the Purchasing Buyer, signaling the district's intent to proceed with this specific vendor for virtual educational services.
