About this file
This amendment document modifies RFQ #33101-26006FAS5, issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for E-Rate Category 2 services covering fiscal years 2026-2030. The services include 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. 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 #5, effective February 3, 2026, updates the RFQ schedule to reflect revised dates for catalog pricing submissions and openings. Key milestones include the State's completion of technical response evaluations by January 22, 2026, multiple rounds of catalog pricing submissions with deadlines of January 30, February 5, and February 6, 2026, a Notice of Intent to Award on February 9, 2026, and a protest period ending February 17, 2026. The contractor signature deadline is February 20, 2026. All respondents must achieve a minimum combined score of 75 points based on mandatory requirements, general qualifications, and technical qualifications to be considered for award.
Amendment #5 replaces Attachment D with the revised Catalog Pricing Excel Spreadsheet (2026-2030), Release 4, with revisions highlighted throughout the document. The State will not evaluate cost during the initial RFQ phase; rather, respondents must submit catalog pricing that serves as the ceiling for subsequent mini-bid processes conducted by individual educational entities. This procurement establishes a source of supply funded through the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program). The amendment is effective upon release, and all other terms and conditions of the RFQ remain in full force and effect unless expressly amended herein.
