Software, Online Subscriptions, Hardware, Services and Communication Services

Mesquite Independent School District (MISD) is issuing a continuous‑bid Request for Proposal (RFP 2026‑007 Addendum 1) to procure a broad range of technology‑related products and services on an “as‑needed” basis. The solicitation covers software licenses, online subscriptions, phone hardware, communication services, and related staff‑development training. Vendors may be sole‑source providers, and multiple awards are anticipated to give the district flexibility across various categories. Proposals are evaluated and accepted throughout the open period (June 2026 – May 2031); contracts begin on the award date and run through June 30 of the award year, with the possibility of annual renewal. Federal funds may be used, so compliance with CFR Part 200 is required. • Scope includes software applications, SaaS subscriptions, phone services, and training for district staff. • Excludes computer peripherals (e.g., keyboards, LCDs) and physical classroom equipment. • Pricing must be entered on specified line items (e.g., 5.3 for software, 5.5 for maintenance software) with optional discount information on line 23. • Confidential information must be submitted as a separate, clearly labeled “CONFIDENTIAL” attachment. • Vendors already under existing MISD contracts may still need to submit a response to be eligible for federal‑funded purchases. • The solicitation is open continuously; awards are made on a rolling basis until the close date of 31 May 2031.
