The estimated dollar amount not-to-exceed is $13,000. LinkedIn Corporation is the intended sole source provider, as they are the sole distributor for the LinkedIn Learning product line, and no other source exists for the LinkedIn Learning site license for higher education institutions. The advertisement began on March 13, 2023, and will end on April 3, 2023, providing a 15-business day period for vendors to submit information regarding their ability to fulfill this procurement.

The primary contact for this procurement is Kim Whitwam, the Director of Purchasing at FSDB, and all questions should be submitted to her by email.

There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement. The incumbent vendor is LinkedIn Corporation, as they are the sole provider of the LinkedIn Learning product line. The contract award value is not-to-exceed $13,000 for the one-year subscription period.
