STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department related to a Food Service Sanitation Program contract for Student Nutrition Services in Florida. The form is designed for vendors to submit if they are declining to submit a proposal for the competitive solicitation. Vendors are required to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net to avoid potential removal from the qualified bidder's list. The form requests standard vendor information including company name, address, contact person, telephone, and email.

The form provides vendors with multiple checkbox options for declining to bid, including: not offering the product or equivalent; insufficient time to respond; requesting removal from the bid list only; scheduling constraints preventing performance; inability to meet bond requirements; or other specified reasons. Vendors must select the applicable reason(s) for their no-bid decision, sign the form, and provide a date. Failure to respond to the solicitation may result in deletion of the vendor's name from Hillsborough County Public Schools' qualified bidders list. The form also includes space for multiple company entries, suggesting it may be used to track no-bid responses from multiple vendors for a single solicitation or multiple solicitations.
