The following commodities and services may be a “Single Source” or a “Sole Source” (only one (1) source from which to purchase the commodities and services).

SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE COMMODITIES AND SERVICES

This NOTICE OF INTENT TO PURCHASE SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE shall serve as a notification that a recommendation will be made to The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida (the “School Board”) to award this single or sole source procurement to the referenced vendor of the commodities and contractual services described in Exhibit A: SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE COMMODITIES AND SERVICES. The description of the commodities and contractual services intended for purchase from a single source is posted in accordance with Rule 6A-1.012(12)(d), Florida Administrative Code. It will remain posted for seven (7) business days.

This is not a request for proposals, and no competitive solicitation is available. HCPS will not consider any response to be a proposal. Any responses received because of this notice will be considered solely to determine whether competition exists.

Interested firms or individuals may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement by uploading EXHIBIT B: RESPONSE TO PURCHASE SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE COMMODITIES AND SERVICES and all relevant documents via www.vendorlink.com. “Like” shall mean equal, equivalent, or identical. Interested firms will be considered only if they provide clear and convincing documentation demonstrating they can meet or exceed the requirements. All responses received within seven (7) business days after the publication of this Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source will be reviewed by HCPS.

A determination by the General Manager of Procurement Services, or designee, and the Procurement Officer not to publish a competitive solicitation for this proposed action based on the responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the General Manager of Procurement Services.

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. This section shall serve as notice of the intended decision to enter a single/sole source contract in the manner specified in § 120.57(3), Florida Statutes. It may negotiate the best terms and conditions with the single/sole source vendor. HCPS shall submit a recommendation to the School Board (www.hillsboroughschools.org/Page/3643) requesting approval to waive the solicitation process and proceed with the single/sole source purchase. Decisions concerning multiple-year sole sourcing are valid for one year after approval by the School Board and must be reposted and validated before the renewal period.

Failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in § 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the time allowed for filing a bond shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. Any protest concerning HCPS’s decision must be received by the General Manager of Procurement Services at 901 E. Kennedy Blvd., Tampa, FL 33602, within the prescribed time.

EXHIBIT A

SINGLE/SOLE SOURCE COMMODITIES AND SERVICES

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

On June 1, 2020, Procurement Services, in conjunction with the SNS Department, issued an RFP for Mobile and Online Menu Technology for SNS. Research shows that the availability of mobile menu applications and digital signage to parents, students, administrators, and cafeteria managers has helped to increase student engagement and participation in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), reduce food and material costs, and lower food waste. The Mobile and Online Menu Technology system will streamline communication and meal ordering between SNS, Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) families, and employees. The initial term of the contract was for a period to cover the successful implementation of the software. This contract may be renewed for four additional 1-year periods. There is a 30-day termination for convenience clause included in this contract. All prices offered are firm against any increase for one year from the effective date. This contract will be reviewed and evaluated annually and renewed by the Superintendent, per the terms of the specifications. The District expects vendors to provide online menus and meal ordering communications between SNS and HCPS students, parents, and employees.

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

HCPS wishes to continue the following Subscriptions & Services:
