About this opportunity

Hillsborough County Public Schools is soliciting bids through Invitation to Bid #25237-ITB-DST for large food service equipment to be delivered, uncrated, and set in place for the 2025-2026 school year. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to establish firm pricing for a comprehensive range of commercial kitchen equipment, including tilting skillets, convection ovens, ice machines, refrigeration units, steamers, combi-ovens, utility carts, milk coolers, and various serving line components. Bidders must submit detailed pricing through an Excel spreadsheet, provide warranties of at least one year, and comply with extensive federal and state regulations, including USDA funding requirements. Key submission deadlines include alternative brand considerations due by May 21, 2025, technical questions due by May 23, 2025, and final bids due on June 6, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The contract term will run from August 17, 2025, to August 31, 2026, with potential temporary renewal options. Vendors must provide unit pricing inclusive of delivery costs and inside delivery, and ensure NSF certification and compliance with all relevant safety and technical standards.

The procurement allows for potential purchases by other public agencies within Hillsborough County and charter schools, with explicit encouragement for small, minority, and diverse businesses to participate. Vendors must complete several mandatory federal compliance forms, including certifications regarding debarment, drug-free workplace, lobbying activities, and human trafficking prevention. The estimated yearly spending for this procurement is $1,700,000, supported by United States Department of Agriculture funding. Bidders must demonstrate compliance with civil rights regulations, domestic procurement preferences, and federal funding requirements, with specific attention to the Buy American provision mandating that over 51 percent of food products be domestically produced. The school district reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive formalities in the bidding process. Potential vendors must also complete a W-9 Vendor Payment Profile Form and may be encouraged to register with the Office of Supplier Diversity to highlight their business classification and potential community impact.
