5-DISD TsCs Deviation Request 1.13.2026.xlsx

This is a Terms and Conditions Deviation Request document submitted by Dallas Independent School District (DISD) in connection with a Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) procurement. The request addresses a specific clause regarding G&A (General and Administrative) variation requests, which the District seeks to amend. The underlying RFP is for managed security services to provide off-hours primary coverage, platform tuning, and operational support for Dallas ISD EdTech's strategic security stack on a district-wide, as-needed basis. The contract term is structured as an initial three-year agreement with two successive one-year renewal options, not to exceed five years total. Either party must provide written notice at least ninety days prior to the expiration of the current term if they do not intend to renew. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 requirements and may utilize local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs.

The deviation request specifically addresses the requirement that G&A variation requests must be approved and accepted in writing. The District has identified an issue or challenge with the original clause language and is proposing amended language to address the concern. All vendors, including sole-source providers, are encouraged to participate in this solicitation. The document indicates that the proposed amendment requires formal approval and written acceptance as part of the Terms and Conditions revision process.
