STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

This is a Statement of No Bid form issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools Procurement Services Department in connection with a charter bus services solicitation. The form is designed for vendors who have chosen not to submit a proposal for the competitive solicitation to pre-qualify multiple vendors to provide charter bus services for in-county and out-of-county travel for students, staff, and extracurricular activities. Vendors declining to bid are required to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net. The form requests vendor company name, address, contact person, telephone number, and email address, along with the reason for declining to submit a proposal.

The form provides multiple reasons for declining to bid, including that the vendor does not offer the product or equivalent, insufficient time to respond, request to remove name from bid list only, product schedule conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other specified reasons. Vendors are instructed that failure to respond to this form may result in deletion from Hillsborough County Public Schools' qualified bidders list. The form requires completion of company information for up to four companies per submission and signature with date from an authorized representative. Approved vendors will be placed on a list of qualified vendors distributed to all schools and departments, which will be directed to use vendors from this approval list for contracted extracurricular transportation services.
