About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Tampa, Florida is issuing a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source Commodities and Services for ChildPlus software and related services for the Head Start Early Childhood Learning Program, with responses due July 27, 2026 — a hard seven-business-day posting window that closes the solicitation to competitive bids.

This is a sole-source procurement. Procare Software, LLC, doing business as ChildPlus, located at 1125 17th Street, Suite 1800, Denver, Colorado 80202, is identified as the sole copyright holder, developer, producer, owner, and exclusive distributor of the ChildPlus Software product line. Interested vendors may submit documentation of capability to provide equivalent or identical products and services via www.vendorlink.com; HCPS will evaluate responses solely to determine whether competition exists. Clear and convincing documentation is required demonstrating ability to meet or exceed the stated requirements.

The scope includes ChildPlus Management Software, database access, and DRDP Per Child assessment capabilities. The DRDP (Desired Results Developmental Profile) is a strength-based child assessment tool that monitors student academic progress and evaluates program quality improvement across all children from birth to five, including dual language learners and those with disabilities. The software manages critical data related to student and family needs, including enrollment, registration, attendance, family goal setting, and family well-being monitoring. The DRDP assessment is research-based, valid, and reliable, aligned with the Early Learning Outcomes Framework (ELOF).

No contract value or term length is specified in the notice. Decisions regarding multiple-year sole-source arrangements are valid for one year after School Board approval and must be reposted and validated before any renewal period. A subsequent three-business-day protest period runs from July 27 through July 30, 2026.
