Single Source for proprietary Crisis Prevention Institute Training Services and Materials

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is seeking a sole source provider for proprietary Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training services and materials. FSDB requires these ongoing services throughout fiscal year 2022-2023 to maintain staff certification and train new employees on nonviolent crisis prevention methods, at an expenditure not to exceed $34,999.00. CPI is the sole owner of the copyrighted training programs, electronic presentations, manuals, workbooks, and other proprietary materials associated with this training. FSDB is justifying this single source acquisition on the basis that CPI is the sole provider of the required proprietary training components, and there are no other vendors that can supply the same services and materials.

This is not a competitive solicitation, but rather a notice of FSDB's intended decision to enter a single source contract with CPI, pursuant to Florida Statutes. Vendors who believe they can fulfill this procurement are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the required services within the 15-business day advertising period. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on types of organizations that can respond, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed. The total budget for this contract is not to exceed $34,999.00.
