Single Source provider for Enhanced Laserline tactile graphics for GoMath Florida curriculum

This is a single-source procurement opportunity posted by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) to acquire enhanced laserline tactile graphics for the GoMath Florida curriculum for blind elementary school grades 2-5 for the 2021-2022 fiscal year. The intended sole source provider is SeeWriteHear, LLC, a company based in Scottsdale, Arizona that has developed a proprietary high-tech process for creating the required raised tactile images. The FSDB has determined that SeeWriteHear is the only source capable of providing these specialized graphics, which are necessary for the blind students to access the GoMath curriculum. The total not-to-exceed value of this contract is $255,000. The opportunity has been posted for 15 business days to allow any vendors who believe they can fulfill the requirements to provide information, though FSDB asserts this is a single-source procurement. Interested parties may submit questions, and the advertisement provides the process for filing a formal protest if a vendor believes they can meet the requirements.

There are no set-asides or incumbents mentioned in the advertisement. The funding source is not specified. While SeeWriteHear is named as the intended sole source, the FSDB has posted the opportunity to allow for potential competition, though they believe SeeWriteHear's proprietary process makes them the only viable provider.
