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 period 2026-2030. The amendment updates the RFQ schedule of events and replaces the original solicitation document and catalog pricing spreadsheet in their entirety with revised versions. The RFQ seeks qualified service providers to deliver internal connections, basic maintenance of internal connections, and managed internal broadband services for Local Education Agencies (LEAs), Tennessee Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools. Key milestone dates include a Pre-Response Conference on October 27, 2025, a Notice of Intent to Respond deadline of October 28, 2025, a written Questions & 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, followed by a protest period ending January 14, 2026. The contractor signature deadline is January 20, 2026.
The amendment specifies that the RFQ is revised to cover fiscal years 2026-2030 instead of the original FY26-FY31 period and requires respondents to submit catalog pricing through an Excel spreadsheet; however, the State will not evaluate cost as part of the RFQ evaluation process. Instead, pricing 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). The revisions are effective upon release, and all other terms and conditions of the RFQ not expressly amended remain in full force and effect.
