APPLE CONFIDENTIAL
RE: Apple Sole Source Letter
School District of Manatee County Kimberlie Dufon 215 Manatee Ave. W Bradenton, FL 34205
Dear Kimberlie:
The purpose of this Apple Sole Source Letter is to inform you and your organization that Apple Inc. (“Apple”) is the sole source provider of Apple Products for private and public K-12 education institutions in the United States with a few limited exceptions.
“Apple Products” refers to Services, CTO Products, hardware and software products manufactured, distributed, or licensed under an Apple-owned or licensed brand name that an Apple customer has paid to acquire or has properly licensed from Apple for its own use, but excluding any third-party software and all other third party products.
“Services” means collectively, the standard, price-listed services, support, and/or training products sold under the Apple brand name. “Configure-To-Order Products” or “CTO Products” means Products that Apple modifies from its standard configurations and that are available to an Apple customer only by special order.
The only source of Apple Products for private or public K-12 education institutions is Apple with a few limited exceptions. Only a handful of strategic resellers, such as AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon, are authorized to sell Apple Products to private and public K-12 education institutions in the United States.
Apple will continue to have a direct sales and purchasing relationship with K-12 education institutions and, aside from a very small number of exceptions, will continue to be the sole source for all of the Apple Products sold to K-12 education institutions.
Apple may change or update this letter in its sole discretion.
