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

This is a Specification Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form for Dallas Independent School District (DISD) related to a supplemental Grocery and Outside Catering Services solicitation. The form serves as a template for vendors to request modifications to the original specifications or scope of work for the district-wide food, grocery, produce, supplies, and outside catering services contract. The contract is supplemental to the original solicitation (RFP DA-207872) and is directed at vendors not previously awarded under that solicitation. The term of any resulting contract shall mirror the original RFP term, with potential extensions upon mutual agreement for a total period not to exceed five years. Either party must provide written notice of non-renewal no fewer than ninety days before contract expiration.

The formal deviation request form requires vendors to identify the specific scope or specification area subject to deviation, provide the reason for the requested change, describe the recommended modification, and document the impact on scope elements such as form, functionality, lead-time, and cost. All variation requests require written approval and acceptance before implementation. The solicitation is issued in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2CFR) Part 200 requirements and may utilize local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs for procurement. This supplemental approach allows the district to expand its pool of approved suppliers for grocery and catering services while maintaining existing awards granted under the original DA-207872 solicitation.
