Notice of Intent to Award Single Source Procurement: Hotel Accommodations and Conference Services for FLDOE Civics Professional Learning Event – Jacksonville, Florida

Putnam County School District plans to award a single source procurement contract for hotel accommodations and conference services to support the FLDOE Civics Professional Learning Event in Jacksonville, Florida. This decision follows the district’s Policy 450.03 and Florida Statute 287.057 (3) (c), which allow non-competitive procurement when a single source is deemed most advantageous due to factors such as standardization or warranty. Although other providers may exist, this method is justified on grounds that it best serves the district’s interests. This notice is not a solicitation but an opportunity for interested parties to provide information on their capability to meet the requirements, helping determine if competitive procurement is necessary. Responses must be submitted electronically via the district’s e-Procurement Platform by 8:00 a.m. on May 27, 2026. Interested vendors should provide company details, contact information, and a statement of their ability to deliver the requested services. The primary contacts for this procurement are the Director of Purchasing, Bryan Helms, and Purchasing Coordinator, Joshua Speicher, both reachable via email or phone for any inquiries. The procurement relates specifically to services needed for the event, with performance within Florida, ensuring all correspondence aligns with the district’s procurement policies and deadlines.
