Researched based observational system

The Florida Department of Education, Division of Early Learning (DEL) is seeking to contract with WELS Systems Foundation, LLC for a web-based information system to store and generate Class Assessment (CLASS) results used to determine school readiness provider contract eligibility and payment differential levels. This is a single-source procurement, as WELS Systems Foundation, LLC has an exclusive agreement with the CLASS publishers, allowing them to legally use the CLASS program assessment instrument in their information system. The DEL is seeking a 60-month contract with an estimated value of $2,171,340. The justification for the single-source acquisition is that there is no other legitimate data collection and composite score generation option for the copyrighted CLASS assessments that will meet the needs of the DEL or school readiness program assessment as required by statute.
