About this file
This Amendment #4 to Request for Qualifications #33101-26006FAS5, issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education, updates the procurement schedule and replaces the pricing attachment for E-Rate Category 2 services covering fiscal years 2026-2030. The RFQ seeks qualified service providers to deliver internal connections, basic maintenance of internal connections, and managed internal broadband services for Local Education Agencies, Tennessee Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools. The original RFQ was issued on October 20, 2025, with a response deadline of December 12, 2025, and a pre-response conference held on October 27, 2025. Key milestone dates include the Notice of Intent to Award release on February 3, 2026, the end of the protest period on February 10, 2026, and the contractor signature deadline of February 13, 2026. The contract term extends from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2030, with the State completing technical response evaluations on January 22, 2026, and opening catalog pricing for apparent successful respondents on January 23, 2026.
Amendment #4 replaces the original Catalog Pricing Excel Spreadsheet (FY26-FY31) with a revised Release 3 version effective immediately upon release, with submission deadline of January 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The procurement is 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 for consideration. The State will not evaluate cost during the initial RFQ phase; instead, qualified respondents will submit catalog pricing that serves as a ceiling for subsequent mini-bid processes in which educational entities will conduct competitive bidding. The procurement establishes a source of supply for eligible entities to purchase E-Rate Category 2 services, with the potential for multiple awards to qualified respondents. Inquiries regarding the solicitation should be directed to procurement specialist Jordan Jackson at jordan.t.jackson@tn.gov or 615-253-7825.
