EXHIBIT A

SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE COMMODITIES AND SERVICES

1. Describe what the item commodity and service is and how it is to be used by HCPS.

National Fitness Campaign, LP (NFC) provides a comprehensive, turnkey community wellness solution centered on the Fitness Court®—a permanently installed, outdoor, body‑weight training system designed to deliver a complete full‑body workout for users of all fitness levels at no cost to the public. NFC’s offering extends well beyond equipment and includes site planning and design, grant and sponsorship coordination, fabrication and installation, launch and media support, ambassador training, and ongoing digital activation through the free Fitness Court® mobile app, which delivers guided workouts and scalable programming outdoors. Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) would use this infrastructure as a safe, durable, and equitable wellness infrastructure on school campuses and adjacent community spaces, supporting physical education enhancement, before‑ and after‑school activity, staff wellness, and broader community use while reinforcing preventive health and active‑lifestyle goals aligned with public health best practices.

2. What feature or particular condition of this commodity and service is unique and cannot be obtained from any other source?

NFC is uniquely positioned as a sole source because it is the designer, owner, and exclusive provider of the Fitness Court® system and the only organization offering this nationally scaled, integrated model that combines patented outdoor fitness infrastructure with lifelong campaign membership, digital coaching technology, trained ambassadors, public‑private healthcare sponsorships, and Healthy Infrastructure® planning services under a single program framework. No other vendor provides the same combination of standardized equipment design, nationwide installation network, healthcare‑backed funding partnerships, performance‑tested community activation, and proprietary digital ecosystem that collectively enable long‑term population health impact at no cost to end users, making NFC uniquely qualified and not reasonably substitutable for HCPS’s intended use
