Intended Single Source Purchase (PUR 7776) ARPA Supply Building Initiatives Resources and Training

The Early Learning Coalition of Miami‑Dade and Monroe is using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to acquire comprehensive CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System) training, certifications, printed materials, and observation support for early‑learning directors and teachers. The agency has justified a sole‑source award to Teachstone, Inc., the exclusive licensor of CLASS training and materials, citing that no other source can provide the authorized curriculum or licensed materials. The procurement is valued at $7.5 million and is structured as a single‑source, fixed‑price award. • Scope includes in‑person and online CLASS professional development programs, certification, printed resources, and observation training. • Funding source is ARPA COVID‑19 emergency assistance (Program Guidance 240.21). • Sole‑source justification relies on Teachstone’s exclusive licensing rights for CLASS content. • Contact for the agency is Yasmin Josende (phone and email provided).
