LinkedIn_Learning_Hub_Sole_Source_Letter_Feb2025.pdf

This is a sole source letter from LinkedIn Learning regarding the procurement of an online learning platform by the State of Florida. The document establishes LinkedIn Learning as the sole source provider for the state's learning hub platform, which offers certification and continuing education programs. The letter references LinkedIn Learning's specialized certification and continuing education offerings and directs interested parties to the learning platform portal and partnership information available through LinkedIn Learning's official channels. The communication indicates that the procurement is being conducted on a sole source basis, meaning only LinkedIn Learning has been identified as capable of providing the required services without competitive bidding.

The sole source determination reflects that LinkedIn Learning possesses unique qualifications and capabilities for delivering the specified online learning platform services to Florida. The letter provides contact information for LinkedIn Learning representatives (kovington@linkedin.com and msampson@linkedin.com) to facilitate further communication regarding the platform implementation. As a sole source procurement, this acquisition bypasses the traditional competitive bidding process, with pricing and contract terms to be negotiated directly with LinkedIn Learning based on the state's specific requirements for the learning hub platform.
