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). The amendment updates the RFQ schedule and replaces the original solicitation document and catalog pricing spreadsheet with revised versions covering the period 2026-2030 instead of the originally stated FY26-FY31. Key dates include a pre-response conference on October 27, 2025, a written questions and comments deadline of November 3, 2025, and an RFQ response deadline of December 12, 2025. Technical response evaluations will be completed by January 5, 2026, with the State's Notice of Intent to Award released on January 7, 2026. The protest period ends January 14, 2026, and the contractor signature deadline is January 20, 2026. The solicitation seeks providers to deliver internal connections, basic maintenance of internal connections, and managed internal broadband services for Local Education Agencies, Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools.
The amendment clarifies that the State will not evaluate cost during the RFQ evaluation phase; instead, respondents must submit catalog pricing that will serve as a ceiling for subsequent mini-bid processes conducted by educational entities. All services are funded through the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program). Respondents must achieve a minimum combined score of 75 points based on mandatory requirements, general qualifications, and technical qualifications to be considered for contract award. All revisions set forth in the amendment are effective upon release, with all other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remaining in full force and effect.
