About this file
This is Addendum 3 to Competitive Solicitation 25614-RFP-DST issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services for the Food Service Sanitation Program - Student Nutrition Services. The addendum, dated February 23, 2026, modifies the original competitive solicitation and all previously issued addenda to address sanitation and cleaning supply products required for SNS kitchens throughout the district. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive food service sanitation products, with pricing submitted on a revised price sheet (REVISED #2 Attachment A - Price Sheet Sanitation Products_02202026). A significant operational requirement involves Tinker K-8 School, located on MacDill Air Force Base, which mandates that awarded vendors maintain at least two designated delivery drivers with permanent passes issued by the base at all times, with pass fees to be paid by the contractor. Pre-screen results have been added to the solicitation documentation.
Key clarifications provided in this addendum address product specifications, approved alternatives, and operational requirements. The sanitizer bucket requirement was clarified to specify bilingual (English & Spanish) labeling as referenced in Section 1.7.1 of the specifications. A firm deadline of February 17, 2026 was established for submitting Safety Data Sheets (SDS) documents for consideration of approved equal products; submissions received after this date will not be accepted. Price increase requests are subject to HCPS review and approval, with the specification that if a price increase is not approved, ordering of that item will cease. Potential bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their bid submission using the form provided in the competitive solicitation documents.
