At its October 27, 2026 meeting, the Garland ISD Board of Trustees was asked to approve Contract 397-26-06 for instructional software, licensing subscription, hardware, and services. The administration said the extended RFP process would add nine new companies to the district's pool of awarded instructional technology vendors for campuses and departments. The contract term is one year with four annual renewal options, and the not-to-exceed amount is $350,000 from the General Fund.
Decision state: recommended for board approval.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Garland Independent School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Garland Independent School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
