Single Source Provider for ClassLink Software license

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is seeking to procure a ClassLink software license renewal for fiscal year 2026-2027 through a single source purchase as authorized under Florida Statutes 287.057(3), 120.57(3), and Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C. This procurement is not a competitive solicitation and involves the renewal of multiple ClassLink products including OneClick, OneSync, Public Portal, OneData, Analytics, Roster Server, Parent Portal, LaunchPad, Analytics+, MyClasses, DataGuard, AppTrack, and ThreatScan. The key objective is to maintain continuous access to ClassLink's software-as-a-service platform and associated training and technical support services. The intended vendor is ClassLink, Inc., located at P.O. Box 51100, Newark, New Jersey 07101. The procurement opportunity was posted on March 25, 2026, with a response deadline of April 15, 2026. No competitive evaluation criteria apply to this single source acquisition, as the procurement is based on ClassLink's exclusive status as the sole developer and authorized provider of these copyrighted products.

The single source designation is justified by ClassLink's position as the sole inventor, developer, publisher, and manufacturer of the specified software products, with no alternative vendors available for distribution and sale. As a single source procurement, no set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or competitive organizational qualifications apply to this opportunity. ClassLink is identified as the current incumbent and sole authorized software-as-a-service provider, authorized training services provider, and authorized technical support provider for all listed products. The estimated not-to-exceed contract value is $5,000.00 for the fiscal year 2026-2027 renewal period. This procurement requires integration with FSDB's existing ClassLink infrastructure and technology systems to ensure continuity of services and support.
