Resources and Technology for Childcare Programs

The Early Learning Coalition of Brevard County, Inc. in Florida is seeking proposals for an early learning application that will provide up to 600 tablets, charging stations, and protective cases to support the administrative and programmatic platforms of childcare providers in Brevard County and Defuniak Springs City. The tablets must meet specific technical requirements outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP). The Coalition is looking for solutions that will support families and educators, with the goal of enhancing the capabilities of childcare providers. Proposals are due by November 10, 2023 at 4:00 PM local time, and the Coalition will evaluate the submissions to select one or more vendors to provide the requested products and services. The selected vendor(s) must deliver all materials and provide training by December 31, 2023. The total funding available for this opportunity is approximately $500,000, and payment will be released upon receipt of all devices/equipment and confirmation of access to the software by the Coalition.

The Coalition reserves the right to inspect the facilities and financial condition of the proposing companies to assess their ability to perform the contract prior to award. Multiple vendors may be selected in order to best provide the goods and services outlined in the Scope of Work. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and there is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFP also does not mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration.
