Single-Source Purchase: D2L Brightspace Learning Management System Renewal for FDLRS

The Putnam County School District is seeking to renew its D2L Brightspace Learning Management System, which supports statewide delivery and management of online Professional Learning Alternatives courses for the Bureau of Exceptional Education and Student Services Portal. The system enables the district to deliver courses, monitor participant progress, track grades and engagement, and manage quizzes, discussions, and assignments. The renewal of the system will ensure uninterrupted professional learning opportunities for educators across Florida. Key aspects of the project include: • The district has used D2L since 2003 and has developed significant course content, administrative systems, integrations, and participant records within the platform. • The current system is not compatible with other learning management systems, and switching providers would require significant redevelopment, data migration, security integration, course conversion, and statewide retraining. • The estimated value of the contract is approximately $16,767 per year, with a total estimated contract value of $54,000 over three years. • The district is seeking a single-source procurement due to standardization, warranty, and other factors that make it the most advantageous choice.
