About this file
This is a Solicitation Notice issued by the State of Tennessee Department of Education for E-Rate Category 1 Broadband services. The RFQ (33101-26005FAS5) seeks to establish multiple contracts for broadband services supporting Local Education Agencies (LEAs), Public Charter Schools, and State Special Schools across Tennessee. The solicitation covers internet access, transport services, and related network configurations aligned with the Federal Communications Commission's Universal Service Schools and Libraries Support Mechanism (E-Rate program). A Pre-Response Conference is scheduled for October 20, 2025, with a response deadline of December 8, 2025, and anticipated contract award in January 2026. The initial contract term spans fiscal years 2026-2031.
The solicitation is structured as a multiple-award schedule designed to create a competitive environment for service providers. Cost will not be directly evaluated during the initial qualification phase; however, respondents must submit catalog pricing to participate in subsequent USAC mini-bid processes. Local Education Agencies will conduct mini-bid events among awarded contractors, with price being the most heavily weighted factor in those subsequent selection processes. The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Complete solicitation details are available through the Tennessee Department of General Services Central Procurement Office website or by contacting Genell Jordan, Sourcing Account Specialist, at 615-532-7202 or Genell.Jordan@tn.gov.
