Description

Seattle Public Schools is requesting approval for year two of a multi-year contract with TalkingPoints for public relations software used to communicate with district families. The requested renewal amount is $192,500 plus Washington State sales tax; the total multi-year contract amount is stated as $577,000 excluding tax. The request cites continuity of the existing family-outreach software, potential confusion and hardship from changing systems, and the prior sole-source designation. The form identifies Contract ID C-01637 as the existing contract and states that future renewals will undergo a competitive process. The request is a competitive-exemption approval rather than an open solicitation for competing vendors.
