16-Form Reference Bonfire for 10pts Jun 2025.pdf

This file is a reference check questionnaire form used by Dallas ISD for vendor evaluation in connection with a Request for Proposal (RFP) for nutritious snack foods for food and child nutrition services in Texas. The RFP seeks to procure snack food products from selected suppliers for delivery to Dallas ISD's Food Services warehouse located at 1515 Al Lipscomb Way, Dallas, Texas 75215, for district-wide use on an as-needed basis. The contract term is structured as an initial one-year agreement with two successive one-year renewal options, not to exceed three years total, contingent upon the long-range needs of the District and mutual consent of both parties. Either party must provide written notice at least ninety days prior to expiration if they do not intend to renew. The questionnaire requests that references be completed and submitted by April 2025 at 2:00 PM Central Time.

The reference check form requires vendors to provide contact information for a previous client to answer standardized questions regarding vendor performance, likelihood of rehiring, and an overall performance rating on a scale of one to ten. The questionnaire must be submitted directly from the reference company's email account. This procurement is being conducted in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, USDA, and Texas Department of Agriculture requirements, and the resulting contract may utilize local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs. All vendors are encouraged to participate, including sole source providers.
