Collaborative Summer Library Program for Summer Reading Materials

The Florida Department of State, Division of Library Information Services is seeking to enter into a single source contract to purchase a statewide subscription to the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) for the 2022-2023 summer library program. The commodities included in the subscription are posters, bookmarks, vinyl barriers, stand-up displays, book lists, reading records, reading certificates, newspapers, and bags. CSLP is a non-profit organization that the Department represents Florida in, and it provides an exclusive contract to produce these materials designed for its subscribers. The Department has confirmed that CSLP is a single source provider, as only its subscribers can purchase these commodities, and there is no available competition. The total price for the contract is $140,000, which represents significant savings compared to purchasing the items individually.

This procurement is open to all qualified vendors, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Department has not listed any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The $140,000 contract value represents the available budget for this procurement.
