About this file

This document is a Sole Source Certification from the School District of Manatee County, Florida, for the procurement of educational software and professional development from Lexia Learning Systems, LLC. The certification covers the acquisition of PowerUp and Core5 licenses for reading programs to be implemented across nineteen (19) secondary schools (grades 6-10) and elementary schools (PreK-5th grade). The total contract value is $630,000.00, and the document indicates a 15-business day posting process will commence in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3).

The educational programs are designed to personalize student learning by addressing individual skill gaps and improving reading proficiency. The Lexia PowerUp and Core5 programs are closely aligned with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards and aim to support students in making academic gains, particularly on state assessments. The sole source justification suggests these programs are uniquely positioned to provide targeted literacy support, with a vendor letter (not included in the document) presumably providing additional rationale for the direct procurement without competitive bidding.
