Apryse Corp iText Software

The Florida Department of Education is soliciting information on a single-source procurement for Apryse Corp iText Core Volume (.net) version 9.1 PDF rendering software, with interested parties required to submit capabilities by August 27, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. This is not a competitive bid; the Department has identified Apryse Corp as the sole authorized provider and is inviting alternative vendors to demonstrate equivalent capability before proceeding.

The Department justifies the single-source approach by stating that Apryse Corp is the exclusive licensor, maintainer, and technical-support provider for iText Core Software. The software is integral to the Enhanced Field System Modernization (EFS Mod) portals, where it generates, displays, and manages application and contract documents including family applications, provider agreements, and Early Learning Coalition contracts. The software ensures accurate, consistent, and secure PDF document creation across these systems.

The contract covers one year of licensing, maintenance, and support services, running August 30, 2026 through August 29, 2027. The estimated contract value is $44,818.40 for the one-year term. The primary contact is Latoya Crittenden at the Florida Department of Education. Interested parties should email a description of their ability to provide equivalent services to the contract person by the August 27 deadline. The single-source document was posted August 6, 2026 and remained available for a minimum of 15 business days in accordance with Florida Statutes sections 120.57(3) and 287.057(3). The procurement was approved by Contract Manager Brielle Roberts, Chancellor Cari Miller, Senior Chancellor Paul Burns, and Deputy Commissioner of Technology and Innovation Andre Smith.
