Maintenance, Operations, Transportation, Supplies, Parts, Equipment and Related Services

Duncanville Independent School District is requesting proposals for an approved vendor list supporting ongoing maintenance, operations, transportation, supplies, parts, equipment, and related services on a rolling basis through December 18, 2026, with questions due November 6, 2026.

This is a multi-award RFP establishing standing vendors rather than a single-contract procurement. The contract term runs for the 2026–2027 school year with three optional one-year renewals through 2029–2030, contingent on mutual agreement. The District reserves the right to reject any proposal or accept those offering the best advantage to DISD.

Proposers must submit published price lists with all shipping and handling included under F.O.B. Destination terms (unless otherwise negotiated), completed W-9 forms, vendor data forms, and conflict of interest questionnaires. Three business references are required, with preference for school districts or governmental entities. Pricing must comply with Texas state purchasing law and, for federally-funded contracts, federal EDGAR certifications. Respondents must certify criminal background check completion for any employees with student contact, non-collusive bidding status, and current child support payment compliance.

The District extends cooperative purchasing opportunities to other member districts of the Educational Purchasing Cooperative of North Texas (EPCNT) and the Central Texas Purchasing Alliance (CTPA) under identical pricing and terms, effectively broadening the addressable market for awarded vendors.

No specific contract value, budget range, or funding ceiling is stated. The solicitation is informal and accepts proposals on a rolling basis throughout the open period. Addendum 1 is attached.
