The Riverside Score Access Key software subscription

The Florida Department of Health, Early Steps Program is procuring a subscription to the Riverside Score Access Key software to enable early intervention providers to administer the BDI-3 developmental assessment for children from birth to three years of age. This software is essential for determining eligibility for services, evaluating developmental strengths and needs, and guiding intervention strategies in alignment with federal IDEA Part C requirements. The procurement is conducted as a single-source acquisition under Chapter 60A-1.045, Florida Administrative Code, because Riverside Insights is the exclusive provider of software compatible with the BDI-3 instrument and no commercially available alternative meets the necessary federal compliance, continuity of care, or system integration standards. The estimated contract value is $63,000.00, with no option periods or multi-year terms identified, and the place of performance is statewide across Florida. The solicitation, numbered EXP2675 AD, was posted on April 28, 2026, with a deadline for responses on May 1, 2026, and submissions are required only in hard copy format via mail or in-person delivery; electronic, email, or fax submissions are expressly prohibited. There is no competitive evaluation process, and no formal scoring criteria, weights, or contract clauses are included, as the award is based solely on the uniqueness of the software and legal authority for sole-source procurement. The funding is derived from IDEA Part C and Part B appropriations, and while the Florida Department of Health’s Division of Children’s Medical Services is the procuring office, no specific Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative, or Procurement Contracting Officer is formally assigned. Payment details, accounting codes, invoicing methods, and packaging requirements are not specified in the documentation, and no representations, certifications, or socioeconomic status disclosures from the vendor are provided. The software access will be delivered remotely, with acceptance responsibilities held by the state government to ensure compliance with state and federal early childhood intervention standards.
