Apple Operating System and Proprietary Software Licensing

The contract covers the provision of Apple’s proprietary software suites, including macOS and iOS, along with bundled educational software licenses intended for institutional deployment at the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind. These licenses are specifically tailored for educational environments, ensuring that faculty, staff, and students have access to essential Apple software tools designed to support accessibility, instruction, and administrative operations within the school’s technological infrastructure. The agreement is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 511210, which classifies it within the software publishing sector, emphasizing the licensing of software rather than physical hardware or custom development. The solicitation was posted on July 7, 2026, with a response deadline of July 28, 2026, indicating a standard procurement window for vendors to submit proposals. The contract is being managed by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind, located in the state of Florida, with no specific city, postal code, or point of contact details provided in the metadata. Since the place of performance is not explicitly defined, it is implied that software delivery and activation will occur remotely or electronically across the school’s networked systems statewide. The absence of a set-aside designation suggests the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors without preferential treatment based on business size or ownership characteristics.
