STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This Statement of No Bid form is utilized by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department to document vendors' declinations to submit proposals for competitive solicitations. The form serves as a mechanism for vendors to formally withdraw from bidding opportunities and provides the district with standardized documentation of non-responses. Vendors are required to complete and return the form via VendorLink or email to contractsupport@hcps.net, with failure to respond potentially resulting in removal from the district's qualified bidder list. The form requests company identification information, contact details, and the specific solicitation title, along with the vendor's reason for declining to bid, which may include product unavailability, insufficient response time, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other circumstances specified by the vendor.

The form provides vendors with multiple checkbox options for their reasons for non-response, allowing for standardized tracking of why qualified vendors are not participating in district solicitations. Completion of this form is mandatory for vendors who do not intend to submit proposals, as the district uses this documentation to maintain accurate qualified bidder lists and understand market participation barriers. The form also includes space for multiple company entries and signatures, suggesting it may be used for group submissions or processed in batches by procurement personnel. Vendors are instructed to print or type all information except signatures, and the form must be dated when submitted.
