This is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 25048-ITB-DST, soliciting bids for Commercial Water Heaters for Student Nutrition Services (SNS). The procurement seeks various commercial water heater types, including 15-20 units each of gas water heaters (199,900 BTU), electric water heaters (80-gallon), tankless gas water heaters, and mini tank hot water heaters. Technical questions were due by February 20, 2025, with bids received on February 6, 2025. The initial contract term is one year from May 7, 2025 to May 6, 2026, with potential for four additional one-year renewals.

The bid process resulted in multiple recommended vendors, including Amalgamated Services, Inc., Ferguson US Holding, Inc., and Tampa Winsupply Company, with water heater unit prices ranging from approximately $146.98 to $9,311.59. The procurement is supported by United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) funding, with a financial assistance award of $125,000.00 per year. The solicitation emphasizes support for small businesses and minority-owned enterprises, encouraging vendor diversity. The bid allows purchases by other public agencies within Hillsborough County and charter schools, with no minimum order requirements and a 30-day delivery expectation after purchase order receipt. Vendors must provide Energy Star certified equipment, comply with federal regulations, and offer a minimum one-year warranty on parts and labor.
