Notice of Intent to Sole Source: If Procurement Services does not receive “like” commodities and services information during the Single/Sole Source posting period above, the purchase request shall be issued to the School Board or renewed as approved by the School Board.

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.

PBIS Rewards is a digital, schoolwide behavior management system. Our system simplifies the implementation and tracking of a school’s PBIS framework. With PBIS Rewards, school administration can clearly see how teachers are utilizing the PBIS framework and how it is improving school culture. A key aspect of PBIS is focusing on positive behaviors and less on negative behaviors. PBIS Rewards makes this easier with schoolwide support. HCPS has identified 60 schools that will utilize this system to provide a more comprehensive Tier 1 behavior plan in their school and reduce the number of discipline referrals.

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

The multi-device platform makes it easy to continuously recognize students for meeting behavior expectations anywhere in the school, not just in the classroom. With added features like referral tracking, Check-In/Check-Out, and a teacher rewards system, PBIS Rewards helps foster accountability and fidelity in your PBIS program.
