STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form used by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department in Florida for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form serves as an official notification mechanism for qualified bidders to indicate their non-participation in a specific competitive procurement opportunity. Vendors are required to complete and return the form via the MyVendorLink portal or email to contractsupport@hcps.net to maintain their standing on the qualified bidder's list. Failure to respond to a solicitation may result in removal from future bidding opportunities. The form requests standard vendor identification information including company name, address, contact person, telephone number, and email address, along with the title of the solicitation being declined.

The Statement of No Bid form provides vendors with checkboxes to indicate specific reasons for non-participation, including: the vendor does not offer the requested product or equivalent; insufficient time to prepare a response; request to remove the company from the bid list; inability to meet the project schedule; inability to meet bonding requirements; or other specified reasons. The form requires the vendor's authorized representative to sign and date the submission. In this instance, the form relates to Hillsborough County Public Schools' competitive solicitation for a Primary Foodservice Distributor contract to supply frozen, refrigerated, grocery, dry foods, and commodity processed products to school sites supporting the USDA National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs, Summer Food Service Program, and After School Meals Program, with additional jobber fees requested for receipt, storage, and distribution of USDA direct delivery commodities.
