Digital Literacy Software

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is seeking to purchase Digital Literacy Software for its Academic Education Programs through a single-source procurement process. The required software includes Certiport's IC3 online curriculum and associated testing software, which will develop and demonstrate digital literacy skills for releasing inmates. The contract term is for a five-year period, with an estimated value of $181,516. FDC has determined that Certiport is the sole source provider, as their IC3 curriculum and credential testing is the only product currently compatible with FDC's ATLO learning platform. The justification for the single-source procurement is that Certiport is the sole provider of the exam delivery system for the industry certification and credential programs required.

This procurement is limited to Certiport as the sole-source provider, and there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Certiport, and the existing infrastructure and technology requires integration with FDC's ATLO learning platform. The procurement process includes a due date of July 26, 2022, for responses, and no site visits or bidders' meetings are specified.
