Single Source Provider for Fairview proprietary training

This is a notice of intent to enter into a single source contract for virtual training services from Fairview Learning on behalf of the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) for the fiscal year 2024-2024. Fairview Learning, LLC is the sole source provider of the proprietary training, which must be purchased directly from the company and its authorized trainers. The estimated not-to-exceed dollar amount for this contract is $34,999.00. The justification for the single source acquisition is that Fairview Learning's training materials are copyrighted and produced exclusively by the company, and there are no other authorized agents or dealers who can provide this training. This is not a competitive solicitation, and the agency is posting this notice pursuant to Florida statutes. The notice includes the contact information for the Director of Purchasing, Kim Whitwam, and states that vendors who believe they can fulfill this procurement should contact her within the 15-business day advertising period. Failure to file a protest within the prescribed time frame will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes.

Since this is a single source procurement, there are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Fairview Learning, LLC, and there is no information provided about any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The contract value is not to exceed $34,999.00.
