About this file
This is Amendment #2 to a Request for Qualifications issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for E-Rate Category 2 services (RFQ #33101-26006FAS5) covering the contract period 2026-2030. The amendment updates the RFQ schedule of events and replaces the original RFQ document and catalog pricing spreadsheet with revised versions emphasizing modifications. Key dates include a pre-response conference scheduled for October 27, 2025, a written questions and comments deadline of November 3, 2025, and the RFQ response deadline of December 12, 2025. The State will complete technical response evaluations by January 5, 2026, with catalog pricing opened only for apparent successful respondents on January 6, 2026. The Notice of Intent to Award will be released January 7, 2026, followed by a protest period ending January 14, 2026. The contractor signature deadline is January 20, 2026. The amendment confirms that all disability accommodation requests must be submitted by October 23, 2025, and a Notice of Intent to Respond must be filed by October 28, 2025.
The amendment specifies that the State will not evaluate cost during the RFQ evaluation process; instead, respondents must submit catalog pricing that will serve as a ceiling for subsequent mini-bid competitions conducted by educational entities. The E-Rate Category 2 services sought include internal connections, basic maintenance of internal connections, and managed internal broadband services for Local Education Agencies, Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools, with funding provided through the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism. Respondents must achieve a minimum combined score of 75 points across mandatory requirements, general qualifications, and technical qualifications to be considered for award. The amendment becomes effective upon release, with all other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remaining in full force and effect.
