The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has issued a Notice of Intended Decision to enter into a single source purchase order with Brightly Software for application server software identified by NAICS code 43232701. This procurement is not a competitive solicitation and is being conducted pursuant to Florida state statutes and administrative rules that allow for non-competitive awards under specific circumstances. The advertisement period for this intent ran from June 16, 2026, to June 19, 2026, during which time affected parties were notified of the agency’s planned award to Brightly Software, the sole identified provider. The software will be delivered for performance within the state of Florida, though specific delivery timelines, pricing, and contract value are referenced in a prior advertisement number SS-26-166, which is not included in the available documentation. The primary point of contact for all inquiries is Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, reachable via email or phone. No competitive evaluation factors, detailed specifications, inspection criteria, payment terms, or special contract requirements are outlined in this notice, as it serves solely as an administrative announcement of intent to award under single source authority. The procurement reflects the agency’s reliance on pre-established justifications for limited competition, and no further responses, bids, or certifications from other vendors are solicited or permitted under this process.
