Florida Safe Schools Assessment Tool (FSSAT) Serivices

The Florida Department of Education (DOE) is seeking to contract with Digital Sandbox, Inc. (d/b/a Haystax) for the continued development, updating, and implementation of the Florida Safe Schools Assessment Tool (FSSAT), a proprietary online safety assessment system. The DOE has determined that Digital Sandbox, Inc. is the sole source provider for the FSSAT, as they were originally selected through a Request for Proposal in 2014 to develop and construct the system. The contract will be for a term of 3 years, as mandated by sections 1001.212(1) and 1006.1493, Florida Statutes, and the estimated dollar amount for the contract is $2,585,000. The FSSAT is used by all Florida public school districts and sites to conduct security assessments, and this contract will satisfy the statutory requirements for the tool.
