About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document submitted by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department, dated February 3, 2025, for the procurement of Rabbit Laser engraving machines from Rabbit Laser USA. The request encompasses multiple laser engraving and fiber laser machine models, including the RL, QX, SD, and DL Laser Engraving Machines, as well as the XT and SF Fiber Laser Machines. The procurement will be distributed across various sites within the school district. Upon approval, the certification will initiate a 15 business day posting process in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3), allowing for any protests to be filed during this period. No specific response dates, bid meetings, or award dates are identified in the document, as this is a sole source procurement that bypasses the competitive bidding process.
The total cost is listed as "TBD based on number of units purchased and service request," indicating that the final price will be determined by the quantity of machines ordered and the scope of services required. Rabbit Laser USA is identified as the sole source distributor of the specified laser engraving and fiber laser machines in the United States, which provides the justification for this non-competitive procurement method under Florida School Board Administrative Rules 6A-1.012. The specific justification is referenced in an attached vendor letter, which is not included in the provided document. The procurement must comply with Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3) regarding protest procedures, and failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe constitutes a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes.
