STATEMENT_OF_NO_BID.pdf

The document is a Statement of No Bid form issued by the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department. The form is designed for vendors who are not submitting a proposal for a competitive solicitation to provide their reasons for declining to bid. Vendors are instructed to complete the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email it to contractsupport@hcps.net, with the understanding that failure to respond may result in removal from the qualified bidders list. The form includes checkboxes for common reasons for not bidding, such as not offering the product, insufficient time to respond, product scheduling conflicts, or inability to meet bond requirements.

The form serves an administrative purpose for HCPS to maintain an accurate and up-to-date vendor database. By requiring vendors to provide feedback when they choose not to bid, the school district can better understand market conditions, vendor capabilities, and potential barriers to participation in their procurement processes. The form includes fields for company name, address, contact person, telephone, and email, allowing HCPS to keep comprehensive records of vendor interactions and potential reasons for non-participation in competitive solicitations.
