STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form from Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department, designed for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form provides a standardized template for vendors to notify HCPS of their decision not to bid and to specify their reasons for non-participation. Vendors must complete the form by providing company information, contact details, and selecting from predefined reason categories—including lack of product offering, insufficient response time, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. The form emphasizes that vendors should return the completed document via the MyVendorLink portal or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. HCPS notes that failure to respond to solicitations may result in vendor removal from the qualified bidder's list, making timely submission of either a proposal or a no-bid statement important for maintaining vendor eligibility.

The Statement of No Bid form is a procedural document with no direct pricing, set-asides, or funding implications, as it applies to vendors choosing not to participate in solicitations rather than those submitting active bids. The form accommodates multiple company entries and allows for detailed explanation of reasons for declining participation. By requiring vendors to formally communicate their non-participation status, HCPS maintains an accurate and current vendor database and ensures that procurement records clearly document which vendors were contacted but chose not to bid on specific opportunities. This administrative requirement supports procurement transparency and helps HCPS manage its vendor qualification process effectively.
