Sole Source - Titan Thermoplastic Flooring and Services

The School District of Manatee County, Florida is pursuing a sole source procurement for Titan Thermoplastic Flooring and Services, specifically targeting installation of specialized flooring for walk-in coolers and freezers across multiple district facilities, including Food and Nutrition Services and Maintenance and Operations departments. The procurement is being conducted under Florida School Board Administrative Rules 6A-1.012, with a required 15 business day public notice period per Florida Statute 287.057(3) to allow for potential challenges to the sole source determination.

The flooring is LEED Green Building Certified and meets ASTM and OSHA guidelines, with performance capabilities across extreme temperature ranges from negative 20 to 180 degrees Fahrenheit.
