STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form used by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department in Florida. The form is designed for vendors who have chosen not to submit a proposal in response to a competitive solicitation for Drinking Fountain and Ice Machine Filter Services. The solicitation requires vendors to provide all necessary labor, materials, and filters for water fountains and commercial refrigeration equipment in compliance with local and state regulations, as well as guidelines established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The district anticipates filter changes every six months based on current usage schedules and requires vendors to maintain and update district logs documenting all filter replacements, including updates when new sites, fountains, or ice machines are added, removed, or replaced with new brands or types.

The Statement of No Bid form requires vendors to provide their company name, address, contact person, telephone number, and email address, along with their reason for declining to bid. Vendors must select from predetermined reasons for non-submission, including that they do not offer the product or equivalent, insufficient time to prepare a proposal, inability to meet bond requirements, scheduling conflicts preventing performance, or other specified reasons. Vendors who submit this form are requested to do so through www.myvendorlink.com or by email to contractsupport@hcps.net. Failure to respond with either a bid submission or a Statement of No Bid may result in the vendor's name being removed from the qualified bidders list for Hillsborough County Public Schools.
