STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This document 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 is designed to capture vendor information and the reasons for non-participation in HCPS bidding opportunities. Vendors are required to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net to avoid deletion from the qualified bidder's list. The form provides multiple checkbox options for declining participation, including: not offering the product or equivalent, insufficient time to respond, requesting removal from the bid list only, inability to meet project schedules, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. The document includes fields for company name, address, contact person, telephone, email, signature, and date, with space for listing multiple companies on a single form submission.

The form serves as an administrative tool to maintain accurate vendor records and ensure that non-responsive vendors do not remain on active bidding lists unnecessarily. Failure to submit a Statement of No Bid when declining a solicitation may result in automatic removal from the qualified bidder's list for future Hillsborough County Public Schools opportunities. The specific solicitation referenced in this instance pertains to Hood Cleaning Services (ITQ 25509-MST), which seeks bids for comprehensive hood cleaning services across 235 PreK-12 schools and specialty centers, with approximately 70 estimated annual hood cleanings at a flat rate of $1.00 per cleaning. The deadline for questions on this solicitation was November 6, 2025, with quote submissions due by November 13, 2025, at 4:30 PM through the VendorLink system.
