About this file
This is an Addendum #1 to Competitive Solicitation 26113-RFP-DST issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida on March 30, 2026. The solicitation seeks procurement of a modern, scalable textbook and instructional materials management system designed to improve operational efficiency, data quality, and transparency across all district schools. The district anticipates vendor selection for final negotiations in late spring 2026, with an anticipated award date in late summer to early fall 2026. Legal review, board approval, and contract signatures are expected to be completed prior to December 31, 2026, enabling implementation to commence in summer 2027.
Key clarifications provided in this addendum address submission requirements and program participation. Respondents must submit pricing in a separate document file rather than within the main proposal. Required forms, including the Vendor Registration Form, Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit, and SBEP Participation Requirements Form, may be incorporated within the proposal or submitted as separate files at the respondent's discretion. SBEP registration is voluntary and not required; however, points will be awarded to vendors registered in the Small Business Enterprise Program. Primary vendors are not obligated to utilize subcontractors. All respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their bid or proposal submission, and the solicitation remains governed by Florida state law.
