About this file
This is a Sole Source Certification document submitted by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department in Florida, dated September 25, 2025. The document certifies that Teacher Created Materials (TCM) is the sole source provider for all TCM curriculum series products at all levels, languages, and titles, including the backpack series. The certification triggers a 15 business day posting process in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3), during which protests may be filed by interested parties. No specific response dates, bidder meetings, or award dates are indicated in the document.
The total cost for the curriculum materials procurement is $200,000.00. The sole source designation is justified by TCM's status as the publisher and exclusive provider of the specified curriculum materials. Funding source and budget details beyond the total contract amount are not specified in the certification. The document notes that failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3) of the Florida Statutes, or failure to post required security within the allowed timeframe, shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes.
