About this file
This is Amendment #5 to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ #33101-26006FAS5) issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education 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 (LEAs), Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools. The original RFQ was issued on October 20, 2025, with a pre-response conference held on October 27, 2025. The response deadline was December 12, 2025, and state technical evaluations were completed by January 22, 2026. Amendment #5, effective February 3, 2026, updates the procurement schedule to include additional catalog pricing submission deadlines and opens, with the final deadline for Catalog Pricing Attachment A Release 4 set for February 5, 2026, and public opening scheduled for February 6, 2026. The State Notice of Intent to Award is scheduled for release on February 9, 2026, with a protest period ending February 17, 2026, and contractor signature deadline of February 20, 2026.
The amendment replaces the original Catalog Pricing Excel Spreadsheet (FY26-FY31) with a revised Release 4 version covering 2026-2030, with all revisions highlighted in the updated document. Only apparent successful respondents will have their catalog pricing opened at designated times during the evaluation process. The RFQ does not evaluate cost as part of the technical evaluation; instead, respondents submit catalog pricing that serves as a ceiling for subsequent mini-bid processes conducted directly by educational entities. The procurement is funded through the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program), which finances eligible technology infrastructure and networking equipment for educational institutions. Respondents must achieve a minimum combined score of 75 points across mandatory requirements, general qualifications, and technical qualifications to be considered for award. The State may make multiple awards to qualified respondents, allowing educational institutions flexibility in selecting technology solutions for their specific needs.
