Contracted Services

Mansfield Independent School District is soliciting proposals under RFP 26-005 for Contracted Services, with a response deadline of June 4, 2026. This is a negotiated procurement where the District reserves the right to negotiate terms, conditions, and pricing prior to making an award. Proposers must provide a standard hourly rate for their services to be considered. The contract term runs through June 22, 2027, with options for renewal. Awards are made on an incremental basis to vendors who receive an acceptable evaluation rating, though the District may return responses for specialized special education, gifted and talented, or behavioral health services if a dedicated bid is issued for those areas. The selection process utilizes a best-value trade-off basis rather than lowest price alone, with price accounting for 50 percent of the total score. Other evaluation factors include vendor reputation, quality of services, alignment with District needs, long-term cost, past relationship with the District, and HUB compliance. Mandatory submission requirements include a W-9, ACH form, Certificate of Insurance, and various certifications such as the Texas HB1295 form. Vendors must comply with extensive federal and state regulations, including the Buy America Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for recovered materials, and non-discrimination standards. Performance will take place in Texas, and all proposals must be submitted electronically via the designated online portal.
