14-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 Fresh Produce Delivery for Food and Child Nutrition Services procurement. The RFP seeks vendors to provide fresh produce on a district-wide, as-needed basis, with the contract term set for one year with two successive optional one-year renewal periods, not to exceed three years total. All vendors are encouraged to participate, including sole-source providers. The procurement is issued in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, USDA, and Texas Department of Agriculture requirements. Either party must provide written notice at least ninety days prior to expiration of the current contract term if they do not intend to renew; failure by the District to timely exercise renewal options will result in automatic expiration of all remaining options.

The formal deviation request form provided allows vendors to submit requests for specification or scope of work modifications, requiring documentation of the deviation area, reason for the request, recommended changes, and impact assessment on scope elements such as form, functionality, lead time, and cost. All variation requests require written approval and acceptance. The procurement may be funded through local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs, including USDA and other federal nutrition programs administered by the District.
