Printing Services, Awards/Recognition Items, and Promotional/Spirit Items

Grand Prairie Independent School District (GPISD) has issued a non‑expiring Request for Proposal (RFP #26‑07) to establish a qualified vendor list for all printing‑related needs, including the production of awards/recognition items and promotional/spirit merchandise. The solicitation does not call for specific quantities or designs; instead, vendors who submit a qualifying bid will be added to the district’s vendor roster and may be called upon for future purchase orders on an as‑needed basis. The RFP is “qualifying only,” meaning the district will award contracts to any vendor that meets the mandatory requirements (e.g., current Certificate of Insurance, COI, background checks, conflict‑of‑interest questionnaire, and compliance with Texas DEI and ethics statutes). No fixed price or award date is provided, and the deadline is set to 31 August 9999, effectively keeping the solicitation open indefinitely. Vendors must be prepared to handle on‑site work (e.g., demos, installations) only after a purchase order is issued and a valid COI is on file. • Open‑ended, ongoing opportunity – vendor placed on GPISD’s approved list for future printing, awards, and spirit‑item purchases. • No specific product specifications; vendors submit pricing, references, and compliance documentation. • Mandatory requirements: current insurance (ACORD), COI, background checks, conflict‑of‑interest questionnaire, ethics certification (CIP‑1295), and adherence to DEI prohibitions. • Awarded contracts are multi‑award; multiple vendors may be selected for each category. • All purchases are made via district purchase orders; payment contingent on available funds. • Contact: Brooke Alexander, Director of Purchasing (phone (972) 237‑4022, email [email protected]).
