FDOT is requesting information from prospective vendors regarding their ability to supply the described services by 5:00 PM EST on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. If it is determined that the services are available only from a single source, FDOT will post notice of its intended decision to enter into a single source purchase contract on the Vendor Bid System.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this opportunity. The current incumbent vendor is Blatant Media Corporation, and the existing infrastructure and technology requires integration with the Absorb online platform and learning management system. The estimated dollar amount for the 5-year contract term is $600,000.
