Opportunity Overview
Open now. Duncanville Independent School District (DISD) is accepting proposals under MS-26-27.008 Addendum 1, Special Education Supplies, Equipment & Services. The district is using this catalog RFP to establish a broad approved-vendor base for as-needed special-education purchases and services.
Deadline and Schedule
The official Duncanville ISD IonWave record lists an issue date of September 4, 2026 at 7:00 AM CT, a question cutoff of November 6, 2026 at 2:00 PM CT, and a response deadline of December 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time.
Contract Structure
This is a multi-award procurement. Duncanville ISD states that vendors seeking to do business under this category must submit a response. Awards may be made to multiple vendors throughout the open period. The base term is the 2026-2027 school year, with three potential additional years covering 2027-2028, 2028-2029 and 2029-2030 by mutual agreement. Discount pricing is to include shipping and handling, F.O.B. Destination, unless otherwise stated or negotiated.
Required Forms and Vendor Controls
The live bid record identifies a Bid Invitation and five posted attachments. Required response attachments include the Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, W-9 and Form 1295. A corrected Vendor Data Form is also posted for completion and upload. The bid invitation additionally requests vendor certifications and disclosures, including an authorized signature, deviations, UEI if applicable, non-collusion certification, criminal-background-check compliance when applicable, public-information acknowledgments, and other Texas contracting certifications.
From issuance through the final submission date, the solicitation strictly limits bidder communications: questions concerning procedures or specifications must go through Duncanville ISD Purchasing, and contact with other district employees for purposes of responding to the solicitation is prohibited.
Funding and Purchase Volume
The controlling public solicitation does not publish a guaranteed contract value, purchase quantity, or per-vendor spend. Atlas does not substitute third-party estimates for an official value.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 87/100. This is a current, long-window Texas school procurement with a multi-award structure and broad special-education supplies, equipment and services scope. It is relevant to vendors serving public-school special education, but the public package is not a narrowly defined clinical-technology procurement.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 28/100, conditional. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform should not be forced into this solicitation. A possible pathway exists only if a specific N9+ configuration and documented district use case legitimately fit special-education evaluation, accessibility, communication, health-related student services or another permitted category in the full response structure. No public language currently confirms telehealth or remote-exam equipment as an expressly requested item.
Next Action
Prospective vendors should register in Duncanville ISD IonWave, review the complete current packet and any later addenda, verify the exact responsive category and catalog/discount structure, complete all required vendor-controlled certifications and forms without fabrication, and submit well before December 18, 2026 at 3:00 PM CT. Procurement questions should be directed only through the district’s authorized Purchasing channel before the posted cutoff.
