STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for use by vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form provides a template for vendors to formally notify HCPS of their decision not to bid and to specify their reasons for non-participation. In the context of RFP 26028-MST for Fencing Services, vendors may use this form to decline participation due to reasons including lack of product offering equivalency, insufficient response time, schedule constraints preventing performance, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified circumstances. The form requires completion of company information, contact details, and selection of applicable reason(s) for the no-bid decision. Vendors are instructed to submit the completed form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. Failure to respond to solicitations may result in deletion of the vendor's name from HCPS's qualified bidders list.

The form serves as an administrative mechanism to maintain accurate vendor databases and prevent assumptions of non-responsiveness when vendors intentionally decline to participate. Submission of a Statement of No Bid allows vendors to remain in good standing with HCPS while formally documenting their decision not to pursue specific opportunities. The form accommodates multiple company entries and reasons, suggesting its use for consolidated responses or multiple-vendor situations. This administrative tool is essential for HCPS procurement operations to distinguish between vendors choosing not to bid and those failing to respond entirely.
