Collaborative, LLC (K12 Lift)

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) has issued a Notice of Intent to Purchase Single/Sole Source Commodities and Services for K12 Lift services from K12 Collaborative, LLC. The procurement will provide 27 schools with customized data tools and reporting designed to help principals and teachers assess instruction quality and student performance. Specific services include annual subscriptions for Process Monitoring Reports, Standards Mastery, and Professional Learning components. The single/sole source posting period runs from August 12, 2025, through August 21, 2025, with a three-business-day protest period extending through August 26, 2025. The K12 Lift platform enables educators to analyze student growth rates, academic histories, and intervention effectiveness through a 5-phase problem-solving protocol, allowing grade-level teams to collaboratively adjust instructional resources and practices. Interested firms can respond by uploading Exhibit B and supporting documentation via www.vendorlink.com during the specified posting period. The unique value proposition includes integrating state assessment data, local progress monitoring data, and attendance information into individualized, print-ready progress monitoring portfolios delivered three times annually.

The procurement appears to be exclusively available to K12 Collaborative, LLC, which is identified as the sole source provider and copyright owner of the K12 Lift Progress Monitoring, Standards Mastery, and Benchmark Reporting Portfolios. No specific pricing information or contract term length is detailed in the notice. The services are not available through retail channels or third-party distributors, effectively restricting competition. Multiple-year sole source approvals are valid for one year and must be reposted and validated before renewal. If no alternative or "like" commodities or services are identified during the posting period, HCPS will submit a recommendation to the School Board requesting approval to waive competitive solicitation and proceed with the single/sole source purchase. The procurement does not indicate any specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses, nor does it provide explicit information about award values or budget ranges for the contract.
