11-SPEC or SOW Deviation Request 1.13.2026.xlsx

This is a Specification or Scope of Work (SOW) Deviation Request form submitted for the Dallas Independent School District's International Baccalaureate Professional Development, Instructional Materials, and Implementation Resources contract opportunity in Texas. The form documents requested deviations from the original specifications or scope of work, requiring vendors to identify the specific scope or specification area subject to change, provide the rationale for the deviation, recommend the proposed change, and detail the resulting impact on scope elements such as form, functionality, lead-time, and cost. The document indicates that variation requests require written approval and must be formally accepted before implementation.

The deviation request process establishes a formal mechanism for managing changes to contract specifications during the procurement phase. General and Administrative (G&A) costs associated with variation requests must be clearly identified and justified. All requested deviations are contingent upon explicit written acceptance, ensuring that Dallas ISD maintains control over contract modifications and can assess the cumulative impact of any approved changes on project deliverables, timelines, and budget. This structured approach allows the district to evaluate how proposed deviations affect the overall implementation of IB professional development services and resources across its 15 authorized IB schools.
