6-SPEC or SOW Deviation Request 1.13.2026.xlsx

This is a Specification or Scope of Work (SOW) Deviation Request form for the Dallas Independent School District's Water Treatment Services contract opportunity in Texas. The form serves as a template for vendors to formally request deviations from the original specifications or scope of work included in the RFP. The document is structured to capture the specific scope or specification area requiring modification, the justification for the requested deviation, and the proposed alternative approach. The contract itself is a district-wide water treatment services agreement issued under federal procurement requirements (2 CFR Part 200), with an initial three-year term and two optional one-year extensions, potentially extending the total contract period to five years. Either party must provide written notice at least ninety days prior to contract expiration if they do not intend to renew.

The deviation request form requires vendors to document the impact of their proposed changes across multiple dimensions, including effects on form, functionality, lead times, costs, and other relevant factors such as general and administrative (G&A) expenses. All variation requests submitted through this form require formal written approval from Dallas ISD before implementation. The document indicates that this procurement is available to all vendors, including sole-source providers, and may be funded through local, state, federal, or grant-funded programs. The file does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, or incumbent details, but establishes the procedural framework by which vendors may formally propose modifications to the contracted specifications during the procurement process.
