Job Order Contract (JOC

This solicitation from Grand Prairie Independent School District (GPISD), identified as RFP 25-02 for Job Order Contract (JOC) services related to installation and maintenance across facilities, transportation, and food service areas, is designed to establish a pre-qualified vendor list rather than secure immediate specific projects. The RFP allows continuous bid submissions until August 31, 2027, with a possible three-year extension through August 31, 2028, by annual written request. Upon submitting a qualifying bid, vendors are placed on an approved list authorized by the GPISD Board, from which future work orders can be issued as needed. Performance locations are within Texas, specifically at GPISD sites, and all orders require district-approved purchase orders before execution. The contract emphasizes compliance with robust insurance requirements—including general, automobile, umbrella liability, workers’ compensation, and bonds for construction work—and mandates criminal background checks for all personnel in accordance with Texas Education Code and district policy. Vendors must complete and submit Form 1295 per Texas ethics laws to disclose interested parties. Payment is facilitated electronically via ACH, supported by submission of IRS Form W-9 and bank authorization forms. While no formal FAR clauses are incorporated, the contract incorporates federal grant compliance provisions under 2 CFR Part 200 (EDGAR), including equal employment opportunity, prevailing wage laws (Davis-Bacon), contract work hours standards, and environmental mandates such as Clean Air and Water Acts. The procurement follows a best-value evaluation framework based on price, vendor reputation, quality, past performance, HUB participation, long-term costs, and other relevant factors, potentially awarding multiple vendors who meet GPISD’s requirements. The contract is multi-year and multi-award in nature and requires strict adherence to district general conditions, ethical disclosures, and administrative protocols.
