This is a Notice of Rejection of All Proposals issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida on September 3, 2026, regarding ITB 26311-ITB-MST for Water and Wastewater Laboratory Services. HCPS rejected all proposals received and cancelled the competitive solicitation due to the receipt of incomplete bids. The original solicitation sought comprehensive laboratory testing and analysis services including wastewater process control analysis, drinking water compliance testing (850 annual tests for total coliform and E. coli), non-transient non-community water system compliance testing for volatile organic contaminants, pesticides, PCBs, radiological contaminants, total trihalomethanes, synthetic organic contaminants, and PFAS analysis using EPA-approved methods. The price sheet contained 33 line items with estimated annual usage quantities ranging from 2 to 850 tests per item. Bids were due on August 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET, with technical questions due August 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM ET.
The rejected proposals remain exempt from public records disclosure requirements for up to twelve months from the date of the rejection notice. HCPS indicated it would reissue the solicitation. Bidders were required to submit bids electronically through VendorLink with all bids including inside delivery and F.O.B. Destination terms. The Small Business Encouragement Program (SBEP) preference applied to this solicitation. Payment options included P-Card, Net 21 with early payment discount, Net 45 standard, or Net 14 for OSD-registered vendors. Contract protests required a bond of $5,000 or three percent of the estimated contract value, whichever was greater. This solicitation replaced the previous contract 21091-MST-EJ.
