Intent to Award Single Source provider for Swivl proprietary software licenses

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has issued a notice of intent to award a single source purchase to Swivl, Inc. for proprietary software licenses, with no competitive bidding process involved. This action is authorized under Florida state law and administrative rules, and the announcement serves solely as a public notification of intent rather than a solicitation for bids. The procurement focuses on three specific commodities: License Management Software, Educational or Reference Software, and Teacher Resource Materials, all tied to Swivl’s proprietary offerings. The original single source advertisement number, SS-26-169, references the specific products and services to be procured, though the exact quantities and pricing details are not included in this notice and are instead contained in that prior document. The advertisement period ran from June 23, 2026, to June 26, 2026, and performance is expected to occur within the state of Florida. The point of contact for inquiries is Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, reachable by email at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org, with a phone number provided for further communication. Any protest regarding the intent to award must be submitted in writing within 72 hours of the notification and a formal written protest is required within ten days of the initial protest filing. No evaluation factors, inspection criteria, packaging requirements, contract administration details, or specific delivery schedules are outlined in the notice, as it is an administrative notice of intent rather than a full contract or competitive solicitation, and no FAR clauses or contract exhibits are attached or referenced in the materials provided.
