About this opportunity
The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is seeking to procure user licenses for the Mobex, Inc. YakChat application to facilitate SMS and MMS messaging to and from Microsoft Teams users for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The estimated dollar amount for this single source procurement is not to exceed $21,100.00. FSDB has determined that Mobex, Inc.'s YakChat application is the sole and only provider of the required level of integrated text messaging technology in Microsoft Teams, making it the easiest SMS text solution for Microsoft Teams customers. The justification for this single source procurement is that the YakChat application is the only source that provides the required level of integration with Microsoft Teams, Active Directory, Outlook, SharePoint, and Microsoft's bot framework, and FSDB has found no other application as user-friendly and specifically focused on two-way communication between Teams users and their respective parties.

The intended source for this procurement is Mobex, Inc., a Florida Corporation that distributes and supports the YakChat application on a nationwide basis. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as this is a single source procurement.
