About this file
The document is a Sole Source Certification from the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department in Bradenton, Florida, dated May 13, 2024. The certification seeks to purchase curriculum materials from Teacher Created Materials (TCM) without competitive bidding, with a total cost of $200,000.00 across various district sites. The sole source designation applies to all levels, languages, and titles of TCM's curriculum and backpack series, and the document initiates a 15-business day posting process in accordance with Florida Statute 287.057(3).
The procurement is being conducted under Florida School Board Administrative rules 6A1.012, with TCM recognized as the exclusive publisher and provider of the specified curriculum materials. The sole source justification indicates that the district can only obtain these specific curriculum resources directly from Teacher Created Materials, necessitating a direct purchase without competitive bidding. The document includes a note referencing an attached vendor letter, which presumably provides additional details supporting the sole source designation, though the actual letter is not included in the provided file.
