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. This form is designed for vendors who do not intend to submit a proposal for a competitive solicitation. The form provides multiple options for vendors to indicate why they are declining to bid, such as not offering the product, insufficient time to respond, product scheduling conflicts, inability to meet bond requirements, or other reasons. Vendors are instructed to complete and return the form via www.myvendorlink.com or email to contractsupport@hcps.net, with a warning that failure to respond may result in removal from the qualified bidders list.

The form serves an administrative purpose for HCPS to maintain an accurate and up-to-date vendor database. By requiring vendors to provide a reason for not bidding, the school district can potentially improve future solicitation processes, understand market limitations, and manage their vendor relationships more effectively. The form includes fields for company name, address, contact person, telephone, and email, allowing for comprehensive vendor documentation even when a bid is not submitted.
