STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form used by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form allows interested vendors to formally notify the district of their decision not to bid and provides space for the vendor to indicate the reason for non-submission, such as not offering the product or equivalent, insufficient time to respond, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. Vendors are required to complete the form with their company name, address, contact information, and the title of the solicitation they are declining to bid on, then return it via the MyVendorLink platform or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. The form includes fields for company signatures and dates and contains sections for tracking multiple companies declining the same solicitation.

The form serves as a mechanism to maintain the district's qualified bidder list by allowing vendors to formally remove themselves from future bid opportunities if desired, or to clarify their reasons for non-participation on a specific solicitation. Failure to respond with a Statement of No Bid when declining to submit may result in the vendor's name being deleted from Hillsborough County Public Schools' qualified bidder list. The form is applicable to various competitive solicitations, including the referenced Diplomas solicitation, which involves creating, printing, and delivering diplomas and district and state seals for Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida.
