Florida Safe Schools Assessment Tool (FSSAT) Services

This is a single source procurement opportunity posted by the Florida Department of Education (Office of Safe Schools) related to the Florida Safe Schools Assessment Tool (FSSAT) Services. The Department has a need to continue revising the templates and secure system maintenance and services for its digital security risk assessment tool, the FSSAT, as mandated by Florida Statutes. The intended single source is Secure Passage (formerly Digital Sandbox, Inc./Haystax) for a term of 3 years with an estimated dollar amount of $2,935,000, which includes a $350,000 amendment. The justification for the single source acquisition is that the FSSAT is a proprietary online safety assessment system that houses the state's mandated school security risk assessment for each Florida public school and public school district's safety and security program assessments. The pricing for this contract is estimated at $2,935,000, which includes a $350,000 amendment.

This is a single source acquisition, and the justification is that the FSSAT is a proprietary system mandated by Florida Statutes for use by all public schools and school districts in the state. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a single source procurement. The incumbent vendor is Secure Passage (formerly Digital Sandbox, Inc./Haystax), and the existing infrastructure and technology requires integration with the proprietary FSSAT system.
