This is Addendum 5 to a competitive solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida for a food service sanitation program serving approximately 212 Student Nutrition Services (SNS) kitchens across the district. The addendum, issued on March 5, 2026, revises the price sheet attachment and adds updated pre-screen results to the original Request for Proposals 25614-RFP-DST. The solicitation requires proposers to supply twelve line items of sanitation products in specified annual quantities, including anti-bacterial hand soap, disinfectants, degreasers, quaternary sanitizers, pot and pan detergent, freezer cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, descaler, sanitizer buckets, thermometer probe wipes, and sanitizer test strips. The contractor must provide monthly site visits on a rotating schedule, initial and ongoing training on safe food handling and OSHA compliance, bilingual safety data sheets and instructional materials, and computerized monthly service reports with emergency re-supply capabilities within 24 business hours. The proposal deadline is March 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, with technical questions due by February 20, 2026. A Phase 1 public meeting is scheduled for April 2, 2026, at 10:00 AM via Microsoft Teams. The estimated award date is June 2, 2026, and the contract term runs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with automatic renewal options for up to four additional one-year periods plus temporary extensions not exceeding 180 days.

The estimated annual contract value is $400,000, funded entirely by the United States Department of Agriculture under USDA 2 CFR Part 200 standards with no state, local, or non-federal funding sources. All pricing must remain firm for the initial contract term, with price increase requests requiring 120 days' advance notice and supporting documentation. Evaluation criteria include qualifications and experience (20 points), scope of work understanding (25 points), service requirements (20 points), and cost/value (35 points). Qualified proposers must demonstrate three years of experience providing similar commodities and services, authorization to do business in Florida, E-Verify compliance, proof of insurance with specified coverage limits, and three business references. The solicitation contains no explicit set-aside provisions; however, HCPS encourages affirmative contracting steps to include small, minority, and women-owned businesses. This addendum replaces the previously issued price sheet dated February 20, 2026, with a revised version dated March 5, 2026, and supersedes an expiring agreement under RFP 20128A-DST-KJ.
