STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for vendors declining to submit proposals on competitive solicitations. The form serves as notification that a vendor will not be participating in a specific solicitation and must be completed and returned via the VendorLink portal or email to contractsupport@hcps.net to prevent removal from HCPS's qualified bidder's list. The document provides checkboxes for vendors to indicate reasons for non-participation, including lack of product equivalency, insufficient response time, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. Vendors must include company name, address, contact person, telephone number, email, signature, and date on the form submission.

Failure to submit a Statement of No Bid when declining to participate in a solicitation may result in the vendor being permanently deleted from HCPS's qualified bidder's list for future competitive opportunities. This administrative requirement ensures that HCPS maintains an accurate roster of active and interested vendors for ongoing procurement activities and prevents removal of vendors who simply need additional time or have legitimate business reasons for not bidding on specific solicitations.
