STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form is designed for vendors to formally notify HCPS of their decision not to bid and provide reasons for non-participation. Vendors must complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. Failure to respond may result in the vendor's name being deleted from HCPS's qualified bidder's list. The form requests company information including name, address, contact person, telephone, and email, along with the competitive solicitation title to which the vendor is not responding.

The form provides checkboxes for vendors to indicate their reasons for declining to bid, including: not offering the product or equivalent, insufficient time to respond, request to remove name from bid list only, product schedule conflicts preventing performance, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. The form requires signature and date from authorized representatives and can accommodate multiple company entries. For the related Montessori Classroom Supplies procurement, responses were due April 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM via VendorLink, with questions due by April 3, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Awards were to be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the contract term beginning upon Board approval and automatically renewing for up to four additional one-year periods based on appropriations, performance, continued need, and mutual agreement.
