Single Source provider for Articulate Global proprietary software licenses

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is conducting a single source procurement for Articulate 360 AI proprietary software licenses for fiscal year 2026-2027. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a notice of intended sole source purchase posted pursuant to Florida Statutes 287.057(3), 120.57(3), and Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C. The procurement is classified under commodity code 43232100 for content authoring and editing software. The advertisement period runs from March 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM through April 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM, during which time interested parties may challenge the sole source designation. The intended source is Articulate Global, located at 244 5th Avenue, Suite 2960, New York, NY 10001. No specific evaluation criteria, qualifications, deliverables, or performance requirements beyond the software license procurement are detailed in the posting.

The justification for the single source acquisition is based on Articulate Global, LLC's status as the sole provider of Articulate 360 in the United States, with the exception of ICS Learning Group, and the determination that no other distributor can provide Articulate Global products to customers. There are no indicated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond to this procurement. The estimated not-to-exceed dollar amount for this contract is $3,000.00 for the fiscal year 2026-2027 period. No incumbent vendors or information regarding existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are specified in the advertisement. The single source designation allows FSDB to proceed directly with the intended vendor during the advertisement notice period unless a valid challenge to the sole source determination is submitted.
