Sole Source Justification for Key2Ed FIEP Training Services

The Putnam County School District is seeking to award a sole-source procurement to Key2Ed, Inc. for the provision of Conflict Prevention and Resolution through IEP Facilitation training services. The District has determined that Key2Ed, Inc. is the only vendor that can provide the required services, as they exclusively own and provide the proprietary intellectual property. The procurement is not suitable for competitive solicitation due to the lack of alternative providers. The District is seeking responses from vendors to determine whether a competitive procurement is in the best interest of the Authority. Key aspects of the procurement include: • The provision of Conflict Prevention and Resolution through IEP Facilitation training services • The services are proprietary to Key2Ed, Inc. and cannot be provided by any other vendor • The District is seeking a sole-source procurement due to the lack of alternative providers • Vendors are encouraged to respond with their capability to provide the requested goods or services
