The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind intends to award a single-source purchase to GameTime for sport accessories and playground equipment under solicitation number IA-26-149, with the original single-source advertisement number SS-26-148. This is not a competitive solicitation but a notice of intent to award in accordance with Florida Statutes §287.057(5)(c), §120.57(3), and Rule 60A-1.045, F.A.C., which authorize non-competitive procurement when a sole source is justified. The advertisement period runs from June 1, 2026, to June 4, 2026, with all inquiries directed to Kim Whitwam, Director of Purchasing, via email at whitwamk@fsdbk12.org. The commodities involved are classified under NAICS codes 49221500 for sport accessories and 49241500 for playground equipment, and the place of performance is in Florida, though specific delivery locations are not detailed. No contract value, pricing, delivery schedule, FOB terms, or packaging requirements are specified in the notice. The procurement does not include a formal evaluation process, inspection criteria, or contractual clauses typically found in competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. While compliance with applicable state safety and procurement standards is implied, no technical specifications such as ASTM or CPSC standards are referenced. No representations, certifications, or socioeconomic data for GameTime are provided, and no formal contract type, payment office, or accounting identifiers are included. The notice serves solely to inform the public of the agency’s intent to proceed with a non-competitive award, and no formal proposal submission or documentation from the vendor is required under this announcement.
