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

This is a Specification Scope of Work Formal Deviation Request Form associated with Dallas Independent School District's International Baccalaureate Professional Development, Instructional Materials, and Implementation Resources procurement in Texas. The form serves as the official mechanism for vendors to request deviations from the specifications or scope of work outlined in the RFP. The document provides fields for vendors to identify the specific specification or SOW area subject to deviation, explain the reason for the requested deviation, describe the recommended change, and detail the impact on scope elements including form, functionality, lead-time, cost, and other relevant factors. All variation requests submitted through this form require written approval before acceptance and implementation.

Dallas ISD seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive International Baccalaureate support services across four programme levels: Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, Diploma Programme, and Career-related Programme. The district currently operates 15 authorized IB schools with potential for expansion, requiring vendors to demonstrate alignment with IB Programme standards, maintain current accreditation from the International Baccalaureate Organization where applicable, and provide evidence of successful implementation experience with similarly-sized educational institutions. Notably, the procurement is governed by the Texas Education Code, which mandates a formal competitive RFP process for contract eligibility, regardless of vendors' typical procurement practices in other jurisdictions.
