About this opportunity

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is procuring Cochlear Americas hearing aid parts and repair services under a single-source intent, with the advertising period closing August 25, 2026. This is a sole-source acquisition; Cochlear is the exclusive manufacturer and authorized service provider for its Nucleus, Kanso, Hybrid, Baha, and Vistafix branded hearing aid systems, and no other vendor can supply compatible parts or repair services for these proprietary devices.

The scope covers parts, accessories, and repair service for the five Cochlear branded hearing aid system families for fiscal year 2026–2027. The estimated not-to-exceed contract value is $19,999.99. FSDB has designated Cochlear Americas at 10350 Park Meadows Drive, Lone Tree, Colorado 80124 as the intended sole source.

The single-source advertisement runs through August 25, 2026 at 7:00 p.m., satisfying Florida's fifteen business day advertising requirement. Vendors who believe they can fulfill this procurement are invited to submit capability information to Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org during the advertising period. FSDB reserves the right to conduct a competitive procurement if responses received during the advertising period support such a determination, but any decision rests solely within the agency's discretion. The procurement is classified under commodity codes 45111701 (Assistive Listening Devices) and 42211705 (Hearing Aids).
