About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document from the School District of Manatee County's Purchasing Department in Bradenton, Florida, dated May 15, 2025. The document certifies a direct procurement of professional learning services from Catapult Learning, LLC for school-based mentor teachers. The services will include training with two modules per day covering topics such as mentoring cycles, mentoring data conversations, and mentoring roles and responsibilities. Upon completion of the form, a 15-business day posting process will begin in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3), which allows the district to purchase these services without issuing a competitive bid.
The sole source justification suggests that Catapult Learning is the only vendor capable of providing these specific professional development services for mentor teachers. While no specific pricing or budget details are included in the document, the certification indicates that the procurement is being processed through the school district's established purchasing procedures. The document includes standard legal language regarding protest procedures and waiver of proceedings, which is typical for government procurement documents. The certification is signed by the Purchasing Buyer, Beth Sharp-Tolly, and appears to be part of the standard administrative process for non-competitive vendor selection.
