This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form serves as documentation of non-response and requires vendors to indicate their reasons for not bidding, which may include not offering the product or equivalent, insufficient time to respond, inability to meet bond requirements, scheduling conflicts, or other specified reasons. Vendors are instructed to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. The form includes fields for multiple company names and reasons, with signature and date requirements. Failure to respond to this form may result in the vendor's name being deleted from HCPS's qualified bidder's list.

This particular Statement of No Bid form is related to Solicitation 25500-RFP-DST for Fleet Parts and Services, which seeks to replace the existing truck, bus, and vehicle parts contract expiring March 3, 2026. The procurement covers parts and services for HCPS's extensive transportation fleet comprising 1,100 yellow buses and 650 support vehicles, with an estimated annual budget of $3,500,000. The solicitation requires vendors to have at least three years of experience providing similar commodities and services, submit original equipment quality parts or equivalent based on percentage discounts from manufacturer's suggested retail prices, and comply with a Small Business Encouragement Program that encourages participation from certified local small businesses. The contract allows for multiple vendor awards with an initial term through the first anniversary month following Board approval, with options for up to four additional one-year renewals. The deadline for technical questions was October 31, 2025, with proposals due November 14, 2025.
