Remote Access and Password Management Software Services – Single Source Notice

Putnam County School District, through its procuring agent NEFEC, is pursuing a Single Source Procurement for Remote Access and Password Management Software Services under Policy 450.03 and Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c), aiming to acquire an integrated solution that combines secure remote desktop capabilities with privileged password management to replace outdated systems. The intent is to award the contract directly to Devolutions Inc. due to its unique ability to fulfill the district’s specific technical requirements, as no other available solution meets the necessary criteria for security, integration, and operational efficiency. This non-competitive procurement is being conducted with a formal Notice to solicit input from other potential vendors, not as a competitive solicitation, but solely to confirm that no other entity can provide an equivalent service that would justify opening the procurement to competition. The required deliverables include a single-platform solution supporting RDP and administrative credential management, aligning with NEFEC IT’s security and operational standards. The procurement has a three-year base term with two optional one-year renewal periods, and the estimated total contract value is $5,500, with the same annual value applied across the base period. Responses must be submitted electronically through the e-Procurement Platform by 12:00 a.m. on June 25, 2026, and must include the vendor’s name, address, contact information, a statement of capability to provide the services, and, for resellers, official authorization from the manufacturer. The place of performance is in Florida, and the point of contact for the acquisition is the Purchasing Department at 200 Reid Street, Palatka, with Bryan Helms as the Director of Purchasing and Joshua Speicher as the Purchasing Coordinator. Although no formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, or detailed specifications are included in this notice, the NAICS code 518210 is referenced, and the procurement falls under the SLED category. All submissions are reviewed solely to evaluate whether a competitive process would serve the district’s best interest, with the assumption that Devolutions Inc. remains the intended vendor absent compelling evidence otherwise.
