023-DW-0125_Withdrawal.pdf

This document is a withdrawal notice from Polk County Public Schools for Solicitation 023-DW-0125, specifically for Employee Benefits Consultant Services. The district has exercised its right under section 7.19 of the Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) to withdraw the solicitation prior to contract award, citing the district's discretion to alter, amend, modify, or withdraw the solicitation if it is in the best interest of the district.

The withdrawal notice applies to a previously planned procurement for an Employee Benefits Insurance Consulting firm, which was intended to work collaboratively with the district to purchase insurance products for employees. While the original intent was to secure a consultant on a fee-for-service basis to promote products serving the best interests of the district and its employees, no further details are provided about the reasons for withdrawal or future procurement plans. The notice was issued by Denise Whitaker, Competitive Solicitations Manager, and addressed to all potential vendors, with an apology for any inconvenience caused by the withdrawal.
