What unique features/functionality is required that only this source can provide?

Lexia LLC is the single provider for LETRSOnline Curriculum and they are the only ones that have curated the on-line library that will be accessible to our teachers. Also the professional development provided by this company is specific to using their Digital Library.

What steps were taken to verify that goods or services with similar features and functionality are not available from other sources?

We looked through several other on-line based curriculum and they were not able to offer the unique set of digital library that Lexia LLC was able to offer. They provide LETRScurriculum. We are renewing the contract that was curated in 2O20-2021 , 2021-2022, 2022-2023 and approved by the School Board as a sole source for those school years.

By signing this form, I am recommending this purchase as a sole source based upon an objective review of the goods and services required and the purchase is in the best interest of the District.

I certify that I have no conflict of interest in making this recommendation
