About this opportunity
Dallas Independent School District seeks qualified vendors through a formal competitive Request for Proposal process to provide International Baccalaureate professional development services, instructional materials, and implementation resources supporting the district's 15 authorized IB schools across four programme levels: Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). The procurement encompasses educator professional development training, curriculum-aligned instructional materials, and implementation support resources that align with International Baccalaureate Organization standards and practices. Vendors must demonstrate current IB accreditation where applicable and provide evidence of successful implementation support to educational institutions of comparable size and scope, with capacity to serve multiple schools simultaneously while supporting potential IB Continuum expansion to additional campuses. Key evaluation criteria include purchase price, vendor reputation and quality, extent to which offerings meet district needs, past vendor relationships with the district, total long-term cost, and Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) participation weighted as a significant evaluation factor. Vendors must submit formal responses through the Bonfire electronic portal at https://dallasisd.bonfirehub.com or via sealed envelope delivery to DISD Procurement Services by the April 9, 2026 due date; late submissions will be rejected automatically. This solicitation is governed by the Texas Education Code, which mandates formal competitive procurement procedures regardless of whether vendors typically operate under alternative procurement methods in other jurisdictions.
The District does not identify specific set-aside percentages or restrictions limiting vendor eligibility based on organizational type; however, M/WBE certification and demonstrated commitment to M/WBE participation are weighted as significant evaluation criteria, with certified M/WBE participation and comprehensive compliance plans receiving consideration in award decisions. Vendors must comply with comprehensive requirements including execution of DISD's General Terms and Conditions, submission of W9 tax forms, Conflict of Interest Questionnaires, and Certificate of Interested Parties (Form 1295) certifications. Selected vendors must maintain general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 aggregate and performance/payment bonds equal to 100 percent of contract price for agreements of $25,000 or more, along with compliance with FERPA, PPRA, and HIPAA requirements where applicable and adherence to DISD's alcohol-free, drug-free, tobacco-free, and weapon-free environment policies. No incumbent vendors or current contractor information is disclosed in the solicitation materials provided. The procurement does not specify a total award value, budget range, or contract term; vendors will submit pricing through the standardized DISD Vendor Internal Catalog Pricing Template, with all payments processed net 30 days after invoice receipt and acceptance of delivery.
Opportunity text
Dallas Independent School District, TX seeks qualified vendors to provide International Baccalaureate (IB) professional development services, instructional materials, and implementation resources to support the district's IB programmes across Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). This comprehensive initiative aims to enhance the quality of IB education delivery by ensuring educators receive appropriate training, students have access to aligned materials, and schools maintain necessary resources for successful programme implementation. The selected vendors shall demonstrate alignment to IB Programme standards and practices, maintain current accreditation from the International Baccalaureate Organization where applicable, and provide evidence of successful implementation support to educational institutions of similar size and scope. Dallas ISD currently has 15 independent authorized International Baccalaureate Schools, with the potential of IB Continuum expansion. These campuses need access to professional development, instructional materials, resources, and services that align to the specific aims and objectives of the International Baccalaureate Organization's Programme Standards and Practices to support program implementation. A Note to Our Specialized Partners: We recognize that many of our high-value vendors operate in jurisdictions where formal RFP responses are not standard practice. However, please be advised that this project is governed by the Texas Education Code (TEC). Unlike other states where your services may be procured through alternative methods, TEC mandates a formal competitive process for a firm to be eligible for award. We highly value the unique expertise you bring to the table. To ensure we can legally partner with you and award this contract, a formal response to this RFP is a mandatory requirement. We have streamlined this process as much as possible to respect your time while ensuring full regulatory compliance. This is for District-wide use, on an "as needed" basis. All vendors are encouraged to participate even if vendors are the sole source providers. This proposal is being issued in accordance with Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2CFR) Part 200 requirements to procure vendors who provide goods or services purchased by Dallas ISD using federal dollars. This proposal may be used with local, state, federal, and grant-funded programs. LENGTH OF CONTRACT The term of this proposal shall be for a three (3) year agreement with two (2) successive one (1) year extensions based on the long-range needs of the District and mutual consent of both parties not to exceed five (5) years total. Any contract that results from this solicitation and upon Mutual Agreement of the awarded vendor and the District, may be extended not to exceed a total of 5 years(s). If either party intends not to renew the Contract, that party must give written notice to the other party no fewer than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then-current term of the Contract. If the District fails to timely exercise any of the options to renew, all remaining options to renew shall expire and terminate.
