About this opportunity
The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB), a state agency operating under St. Johns County jurisdiction, is pursuing a single source procurement for proprietary software and licensing agreements from Layered Solutions, Inc. to support its mass notification system during the 2026-2027 fiscal year. This is not a competitive solicitation but rather a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement of an intended single source purchase, posted May 14, 2026, with a deadline for vendor inquiries of June 5, 2026. The procurement encompasses proprietary software licensing, the preconfigured Media Controller (LSIH65205) device for digital signage, software support services, system configuration, and training provided exclusively by Layered Solutions. The intended source justification is based on Layered Solutions' status as the sole manufacturer and support provider whose software and mass notification solutions have been fully integrated into FSDB's existing system, with no alternative vendors capable of providing ongoing support, expansion, or configuration for the current implementation. Vendors believing they can fulfill these requirements may submit capability information during the advertising period. Questions regarding the procurement should be directed to Christine Skaggs, Purchasing Analyst, at skaggsc@fsdbk12.org, or Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org.
No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on organizational types are specified in this procurement opportunity. Layered Solutions, Inc., located at 1528 East Greyhound Pass, Carmel, Indiana 46032, is the sole intended vendor due to its exclusive capability to maintain and expand FSDB's integrated mass notification system. The procurement is contingent upon integration with FSDB's existing proprietary Layered Solutions infrastructure, requiring the vendor to provide ongoing support for the preconfigured Media Controller device and all associated software systems currently in operation. The estimated not-to-exceed budget for this procurement is $80,000.00 for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. As this is a single source advertisement, no competitive pricing evaluation or alternative vendor comparison process will occur unless a vendor successfully demonstrates capability to fulfill the requirements during the advertising period.
