Once the HISD Board of Education formally approves the selected Vendor(s) for award, the HISD Purchasing Services department will issue a Notice of Award letter, affirming the awarded Vendor(s) status as an Approved Vendor for this specific Project.

The tentative term of this Project is from December 11, 2026, through December 10, 2027 with two

automatic annual renewals, not to extend beyond December 10, 2029 .

Thereafter, HISD at its sole discretion may elect to either extend the Project for a term not to exceed ninety

days for business continuity purposes, if needed.
