About this file
This is Amendment #2 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #33101-26005FAS5) issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for E-Rate Category 1 Broadband services covering fiscal years 2026-2030. The amendment updates the RFQ schedule of events and modifies the solicitation documents. Key dates include a Pre-Response Conference on October 20, 2025, a Notice of Intent to Respond deadline of October 21, 2025, a Written Questions & Comments deadline of October 30, 2025, and an RFQ Response Deadline of December 8, 2025. The State will complete technical response evaluations by December 19, 2025, open cost proposals for apparent successful respondents on January 5, 2026, and release a Notice of Intent to Award on January 6, 2026. The protest period ends January 13, 2026, with the contractor signature deadline set for January 16, 2026. Amendment #2 replaces the original RFQ document titled "E-Rate Category 1 Broadband (FY26-31)" with a revised version and includes a revised Catalog Pricing Excel Spreadsheet for fiscal years 2026-2030. The amendment became effective upon release on December 2, 2025.
All other terms and conditions of the original RFQ not expressly amended remain in full force and effect. The procurement establishes multiple contracts for broadband services to support Local Education Agencies, Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools across Tennessee, with services aligned to the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program). Respondents must submit catalog pricing to participate in subsequent USAC mini-bid processes, though cost will not be directly evaluated during the initial qualification phase. The multiple-award structure allows various service providers to compete for individual project opportunities, with Local Education Agencies conducting mini-bid events among awarded contractors where price is the most heavily weighted selection factor.
