About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document submitted by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department in Florida dated December 10, 2025. The document certifies the request to purchase the EV-400 High-Voltage Safety Trainer from ConsuLab Educatech, Inc. without issuing a competitive bid call. The EV-400 is described as a fully functional battery electric vehicle (BEV) in a compact classroom-sized package designed to provide hands-on experience for high-voltage testing and training. The sole source justification references an attached vendor letter providing rationale for the single-source procurement. Following completion of this certification, the 15 business day posting process will commence in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3).
The document does not provide specific pricing information, contract term details, renewal options, or funding sources. As a sole source procurement, this acquisition bypasses the standard competitive bidding process under the authority of Florida School Board Administrative Rules 6A-1.012 and Manatee County's purchasing regulations. The posting period allows for potential protests to be filed in accordance with Florida Statute 120.57(3), with notice that failure to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe or failure to post required bond or security constitutes a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.
