This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by the City of Lubbock, Texas, Purchasing and Contract Management Department for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 26-19332-YB, which pertains to the procurement of Liquid Polymer for Sludge Handling at the City of Lubbock Southeast Water Reclamation Plant. The form provides vendors with a structured mechanism to formally decline bidding on the requirement by identifying specific reasons for non-participation.

The form offers multiple predefined reasons for declining to bid, including specifications that are overly restrictive or unclear, insufficient response time, unavailability of products or services, scheduling constraints, inability to meet specifications, project scope concerns (too large or too small), inability to provide required bonding or insurance, indirect bidding arrangements through dealers, or unwillingness to conduct business with the City of Lubbock. Additionally, vendors have the option to provide other reasons not listed. The form requests complete company information, including contact details, business telephone, facsimile, and internet address, allowing the City to maintain accurate records of vendor participation and preferences for future solicitations and potential reclassification for other commodity or service categories.
