About this file
This is a Notice of Rejection of All Proposals issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida regarding solicitation 25057-RFP-MST for Custodial Supplies. The original competitive solicitation sought proposals for custodial supplies, including a digital catalog system to enable web-based purchasing. Following Phase II evaluation of all received proposals on December 15, 2025, W.W. Grainger was identified as the top-ranked vendor. However, HCPS determined that pursuing the services through an alternative method better served the district's interests and therefore rejected all proposals and cancelled the competitive solicitation.
HCPS has elected to utilize the OMNIA Group Purchasing Organization master agreement number R240808, established under HCPS agreement number 25632-PGB-MST, to procure custodial supplies instead of proceeding with the competitive bidding process. The district determined this approach will generate long-term cost savings through improved ordering efficiency via online platforms, enhanced purchase reporting capabilities including price monitoring and demand forecasting, reduction of order overages, and elimination of redundant items. Pursuant to Florida Statutes 120.57(3)(a), vendors have the right to file a protest within the prescribed timeframe. Questions regarding this decision should be directed to Ivan Viamontes, Procurement Manager, at (813) 272-4328 or ivan.viamontes@hcps.net.

To Whom It May Concern:
Hillsborough County Public Schools (“HCPS”) hereby provides notification that HCPS has determined that it is in its best interest to reject all received proposals and cancel the above-referenced competitive solicitation.
Based on the evaluated proposals during the Phase II meeting held on December 15, 2025, W.W.
Grainger was the top-ranked vendor. However, the District has determined that it is in its best interest, in accordance with Procurement Rule 6A-1.012 (6) of the Florida Administrative Code, to pursue the proposed services under the already-entered OMNIA Group Purchasing Organization agreement number #R240808 under HCPS agreement number 25632-PGB-MST. This contract will provide long-term savings to HCPS in the form of:
- improved ordering efficiency (online); and
- improved purchase reports (price monitoring and demand forecasting); and
- reduction of order overages; and
- minimize redundancy in items.
Per § 120.57(3)(a), Florida Statutes, failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in § 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the time allowed for filing a bond shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The affected party must file a protest, bond, or other security with HCPS.
Please contact Ivan Viamontes, Procurement Manager, at (813) 272-4328 or via email at ivan.viamontes@hcps.net if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued interest in conducting business with Hillsborough County Public Schools, Florida.
