About this file
This is an amendment to a Request for Qualifications issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for E-Rate Category 2 services covering fiscal years 2026-2030. The RFQ (33101-26006FAS5) seeks qualified service 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. Services include networking equipment, cabling, routers, switches, wireless access points, firewalls, caching systems, and managed broadband solutions. 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. Amendment 4, released on January 27, 2026, updates the schedule of events and revises the catalog pricing attachment. Key upcoming dates include the opening of catalog pricing for apparent successful respondents on February 2, 2026, the State Notice of Intent to Award on February 3, 2026, the end of the protest period on February 10, 2026, and the contractor signature deadline of February 13, 2026.
Amendment 4 replaces the original Attachment D (Catalog Pricing Excel Spreadsheet for FY26-FY31) with a revised Release 3 version covering fiscal years 2026-2030, with all revisions highlighted in the updated document. The State will not evaluate cost during the initial RFQ evaluation; instead, respondents must submit catalog pricing that will serve as a ceiling for subsequent mini-bid processes conducted by educational entities. Contractors will be evaluated based on mandatory requirements, general qualifications, and technical qualifications, with a minimum combined score of 75 points required for advancement. The procurement is funded through the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program). The RFQ allows for multiple awards to qualified respondents, providing flexibility for educational institutions in selecting appropriate technology solutions. Interested vendors should contact procurement specialist Jordan Jackson at jordan.t.jackson@tn.gov or 615-253-7825 for additional information.
