Anticipated Award Date: 1/15/26

Description: CANVA SUBSCRIPTION FOR 12 MONTHS

Prospective Contractor: CANVA US INC - AUSTIN, TX

Amount: $7,000

The City intends to purchase the above referenced goods or services, personal services or professional services
on a Sole Source basis as allowed in the City's adopted Public Contracting Rules, Section IV Alternative Source
Selection Methods for Goods or Services, Personal Services, and Professional Services.

Protests of Sole Source Procurement:
An affected person may protest the determination that goods, services, personal services, or professional
services or a class of goods, services, personal services or professional services are available from only one
source.

An affected person must deliver a written protest to the City Manager's office (555 Liberty St SE, Room 220,

Executive summary

This is a sole source public notice for a 12-month Canva subscription, with the City intending to award to CANVA US INC (Austin, TX) for an estimated amount of $7,000. The first date of public notice is 1/8/26 and the response/protest deadline is 2026-01-14T17:00:00+00:00, with an anticipated award date of 1/15/26. The practical opportunity for other vendors is primarily a sole source protest: affected parties may submit a written protest within seven (7) days after the first public notice date and must include a $500 certified/cashier’s check. Unless you can credibly demonstrate the requirement is available from more than one source (and document it), this is not a competitive bid situation.

What the buyer is trying to do

Procure a Canva subscription for 12 months via a sole source purchase under the City’s Public Contracting Rules (Section IV alternative source selection methods).

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?

The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.

What do P10 and P90 mean?

P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
