LiveSchool

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department is pursuing a single/sole source procurement for LiveSchool, a digital schoolwide behavior management system to be implemented across 60 schools. The procurement aims to support a comprehensive Tier 1 behavior plan using a multi-device platform that enables continuous student behavior recognition. Key features of the system include referral tracking, Check-In/Check-Out functionality, teacher rewards systems, and tools for tracking student behavior, sharing information between teachers, and communicating with parents. The procurement period is specifically from July 17, 2024, at 7 pm to July 29, 2024, at 7 pm, during which interested firms can respond via www.vendorlink.com to potentially demonstrate comparable commodities and services. The procurement is being conducted under Rule 6A-1.012(12)(d) of the Florida Administrative Code, with the primary objective of implementing a Positive Behavior Intervention & Supports (PBIS) system across the school district. Potential respondents should note that this is not a competitive solicitation, and any submissions will be evaluated solely to determine whether competitive alternatives exist.

The procurement appears to be exclusively for LiveSchool, Inc., which claims exclusive distribution and marketing rights for the platform. No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation. The subscription-based product includes training resources and ongoing support, suggesting a comprehensive implementation approach. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the scope encompasses 60 schools, indicating a potentially significant contract value. The technology appears to be a standalone platform without explicit requirements for integration with existing infrastructure, though it is designed to support comprehensive behavioral management across multiple school environments. LiveSchool's platform is positioned as a unique solution for school-wide behavior tracking and management, with the vendor asserting that no other agents or dealers are authorized to represent their products. The procurement process emphasizes that responses will be used only to assess the existence of potential competitive alternatives, not to solicit competitive proposals.
