The procurement specifically targets HydroLaunch Rocketry kits, including Water Rocket Launchers, Parachute Eject Mechanisms, LaunchTrak Rocket Altimeters, Bottle Engine Test Apparatus, ExoNaut Robots, and MakerBox Arduino Learning Kits. Atlantis Educational Services is presenting itself as the sole manufacturer and authorized U.S. distributor for these products, with an exclusive curriculum for professional development targeting middle and high school teachers and students. The procurement process requires interested firms to demonstrate their capability to meet or exceed the requirements by submitting documentation through www.myvendorlink.com within seven calendar days of the notice's publication. The evaluation will be conducted by the General Manager of Procurement Services and Procurement Officer, who retain sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with a non-competitive solicitation based on responses received.
The procurement opportunity appears to be unrestricted in terms of vendor type, with no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The sole source notification does not indicate a specific budget range or award value for the procurement. Atlantis Educational Services is located at Kennedy Space Center in Florida (Room #1402, Building M6-306) and can be contacted at +1(321) 210-8472 or abhishek@spacetrek.com. The procurement is being conducted under Rule 6A-1.012(12)(d) of the Florida Administrative Code, which allows for non-competitive solicitations under specific circumstances. Interested vendors must provide clear and convincing documentation proving they can meet or exceed the specified requirements, with "like" defined as equal, equivalent, or identical to the proposed goods and services. The School Board of Hillsborough County will review all responses and make a final determination about proceeding with Atlantis Educational Services as the sole source provider.
