This is a second notice of cancellation issued by the Lake County School District in Tavares, Florida, regarding solicitation #26-0522-B-TF969 for disposable paper products for warehouse stock. The School Board of Lake County, Florida, officially cancelled the solicitation effective July 9, 2026, and rejected all bids submitted in response to the request. The district identified three primary reasons for the cancellation: improper brand specifications contained in the original bid document, a calculation error found in one of the submitted proposals, and failure to apply local Florida business preferences during the bid evaluation process.

The district intends to re-evaluate and re-publish a corrected bid solicitation to ensure proper selection of the lowest responsive and responsible proposer. Prospective bidders are advised that failure to file a protest within the timeframe prescribed in section 120.57(3), Florida Statutes, or failure to post the bond or other security required by law within the allowed filing period will constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120, Florida Statutes.
