10-Reference Check Form.pdf

This is a Reference Check Form used by Dallas ISD (Independent School District) in Texas to verify vendor performance and qualifications for procurement opportunities. The form is designed to collect feedback from previous clients or partner organizations regarding a vendor's ability to provide products or services. The reference check questionnaire must be completed by organizations that have previously engaged with the vendor and submitted directly to Procurementreferencecheck@dallasisd.org no later than July 16, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central Time. The form requests verification of whether the vendor provided products or services, likelihood of future engagement, and an overall performance rating on a scale of 1 to 5.

The reference check process applies to this Request for Qualification (RFQ) for External Legal Services, which seeks outside legal counsel on an as-needed basis to support complex litigation and provide specialized legal expertise for Dallas ISD. The RFQ is intended for district-wide use and may utilize local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs, including those procured in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200. The resulting contract shall have an initial term of two years, with the option to extend for an additional two years upon mutual agreement between the District and the awarded vendor, provided that either party must provide ninety days' written notice of non-renewal prior to the contract's expiration.
