STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

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 allows vendors to indicate their reasons for non-submission through multiple checkbox options, including lack of product availability, insufficient response time, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. Vendors are required to complete the form with company information, contact details, and authorized signatures, then return it via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. The form accommodates multiple company entries and allows vendors to list specific reasons for non-participation. Failure to respond may result in the vendor's name being removed from HCPS's qualified bidders list.

This document serves as a procedural mechanism for HCPS to maintain accurate vendor database records and understand market response patterns to solicitations. The Statement of No Bid form is particularly relevant to the forklift procurement (ITB 25562-EST) with a bid deadline of December 8, 2025, at 4:30 PM, where vendors unable or unwilling to submit proposals are encouraged to provide formal notification rather than remaining unresponsive. Timely submission of this form helps HCPS track vendor engagement and informs future procurement strategies while maintaining transparency in the bidding process.
