11-DISD Specification Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form.xlsx

This is a Specification Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form for the Dallas Independent School District (DISD) related to a Library Print, E-Books and Digital Resources Request for Proposal. The RFP seeks qualified vendors to supply library and literacy materials and services on a district-wide, as-needed basis, including print books, classroom collections, shelf-ready library books, MARC records, audiobooks, e-books, digital content licenses, and literacy platforms to support PK-12 curriculum and reading growth. The contract term consists of an initial three-year agreement with two successive one-year renewal options, not to exceed five years total. Either party must provide written notice at least ninety days prior to expiration of the current term if they intend not to renew. The RFP is issued in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200 requirements and replaces RFP TJ-206442; vendors previously awarded on the prior RFP are encouraged to respond.

The deviation request form establishes a formal process for vendors to request modifications to the specification or scope of work, requiring written approval from the District. Requests must identify the specification or scope area subject to deviation, provide the reason for the deviation, recommend specific changes, and describe the impact on scope elements including form, functionality, lead-time, and cost. The RFP may utilize local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs to support procurement, allowing for diverse funding sources to support the District's library and literacy initiatives.
