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 allows vendors to indicate reasons for not bidding, including lack of product offerings, insufficient time to prepare a response, scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bonding requirements, or other specified circumstances. Vendors are required to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net to maintain their status on HCPS's qualified bidder list. Failure to respond may result in removal from the vendor database. The form requires completion of company information, contact details, identification of the specific solicitation being declined, and the reason(s) for the no bid decision, with signature and date required for submission.

The form serves as an administrative tool to track vendor participation in HCPS procurement activities and maintain accurate records of bidder engagement. In the context of RFP 26036 for Sheet Metal Services, this no bid form would allow contractors unable or unwilling to pursue the roofing and sheet metal fabrication work to formally notify HCPS of their non-participation. The document emphasizes the importance of vendor communication with HCPS to preserve qualified bidder status for future solicitations, as non-responsive vendors risk administrative removal from bidding opportunities. No pricing, contract terms, or specific project details are contained within this administrative form itself.
