About this file
This is Addendum 3 to a competitive solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services for the Food Service Sanitation Program serving Student Nutrition Services (SNS). The addendum, dated February 23, 2026, modifies the original RFP 25614-RFP-DST by replacing the price sheet attachment with a revised version dated February 20, 2026, and adding pre-screen results documentation. The solicitation addresses a comprehensive food service sanitation supply program for approximately 212 self-operating SNS kitchens across the district, requiring delivery of twelve line items of sanitation products in specified annual quantities. The proposal submission deadline is March 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, with technical questions due by February 20, 2026. The contract term begins July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with automatic renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods plus temporary renewal extensions not to exceed 180 days. The contractor must provide monthly site visits on a 20 school-day rotation and initial and ongoing training on safe food handling and OSHA compliance.
The addendum clarifies several critical requirements through questions and answers, including special access procedures for Tinker K-8 School located on MacDill Air Force Base, which requires awarded vendors to maintain at least two designated delivery drivers with permanent base passes at the contractor's expense. The price sheet revision addresses language requirements for sanitizer buckets, clarifying that Section 1.7.1 specifications reference bilingual (English and Spanish) buckets rather than trilingual. The addendum confirms that price increase requests are subject to HCPS review and approval, that there is no termination clause for contractors, and that the deadline for submitting Safety Data Sheets for approved equal products was February 17, 2026, with no late submissions accepted. The estimated annual contract value is $400,000, funded 100 percent by the United States Department of Agriculture under USDA 2 CFR Part 200 standards, with all pricing required to remain firm for the initial contract term and price increase requests requiring 120 days' advance notice with supporting documentation.
