About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Property Control Department for auction services of surplus vehicles under Invitation to Bid 26056-ITB-DST. The solicitation sought qualified vendors to provide comprehensive auction services for surplus and obsolete district property, including vehicles, heavy equipment, trailers, small engine machinery, and other equipment designated as surplus. Sealed bids were due on April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET, with technical questions due by April 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Bids were submitted through www.myvendorlink.com. The Notice of Intent to Award was issued on April 28, 2026, following bid opening on March 11, 2026. Seven vendors submitted responses to the solicitation, which was distributed to 188 vendor planholders in the HCPS bid solicitation system and 76 in Euna OpenBids. The contract term begins upon School Board approval and automatically renews for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on appropriations, contractor performance, continued need, and mutual agreement.
The compensation structure is based on percentage-based commission fees with no buyer's premium, organized in three tiers by sale price: items under $5,000, items between $5,001 and $15,000, and items over $15,000. Winning vendors were identified in Attachment A, with Central Florida Auction LLC receiving the recommended award based on its competitive bidding. Two vendors—Insurance Auto Auctions Inc and JJ Kane Auctions—were marked as non-responsive for failure to complete the bidder's statement of principal place of business and were not tabulated. Vendors must meet all mutually agreed qualification requirements, including possession of a valid State of Florida Independent Motor Vehicle Dealer License (VI), prior to contract execution. Protests must be filed within the time prescribed in Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3) with the General Manager of Procurement Services at 901 East Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa, Florida 33602, or via email to corey.murphy@hcps.net. The Cone of Silence procurement policy prohibits communications regarding the active competitive solicitation between HCPS employees and any third parties from solicitation release through School Board award.
