Sole Source NOIA - Realityworks

Henry County, Georgia issued a sole source Notice of Intent to Award (NOIA) for equipment procurement from Realityworks on April 30, 2021, with the same date serving as the due date for this opportunity. This procurement involves the purchase of upgraded lab equipment for Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) program enhancements and replacements across six Henry County secondary schools: Dutchtown High School, Locust Grove High School, McDonough High School, Ola High School, Upson-Lee High School, and Woodland High School. The equipment will support CTAE lab programs in Agriscience, Early Childhood Education, and Healthcare Science disciplines across the participating schools. The primary objective is to upgrade and replace existing lab equipment to enhance instructional capacity in these career-technical fields. As a sole source procurement, the evaluation focused on Realityworks' capability to provide the specialized equipment required for these specific CTAE programs, rather than competitive bidding among multiple vendors.

This procurement is designated as a sole source award to Realityworks, which restricts the competitive opportunity to this single vendor and indicates that the county determined Realityworks to be the only capable or appropriate source for the required equipment. The notice does not specify disadvantaged enterprise set-asides or restrictions on respondent qualifications, as the sole source designation inherently limits participation to the identified vendor. No incumbent vendor information, current contractor details, or existing technology integration requirements are provided in the posting. The specific award value or budget range for this equipment procurement is not disclosed in the available documentation.
