About this file
This is a letter dated March 2, 2023, from Clifton Miller, Jr., Director of Contract Management at Verizon Wireless, addressed to Patrick Muir, Procurement Manager at the Wisconsin Department of Administration's State Bureau of Procurement. The correspondence pertains to Wisconsin's Enterprise Wireless Telephony & Broadband, Equipment, and Support contract #505ENT-M22-WIRELESSPH-01.
The letter confirms Verizon's waiver of the Offer Recovery Fee (ORF) for specific subsidized devices under the state contract. The waived devices include Basic Voice Phones (Orbic Journey L and Orbic Journey V models from 2019 and 2022), a Basic Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy A03s), and Basic Data MiFi equipment (Orbic 4G Speed). The ORF typically applies when customers purchase equipment at discounted prices but then disconnect the equipment from Verizon's network or move to lower-rate plans within 24 months of activation. The recovery fee equals the difference between full retail price and the discounted price paid, plus additional service benefits, minus 1/24th of that amount for each month of service. Verizon clarifies that the waiver does not extend to other subsidized devices under the contract and will continue evaluating devices for potential waivers as they reach end-of-life status.

● Basic Voice Phone
- Orbic Journey L (SKU: ORB2200L2BVZ)

ORF is not waived for any other subsidized devices made available under the Contract. We will continue to evaluate devices receiving a waiver under the Contract as these devices reach end-of-life.
We value our relationship with the State of Wisconsin and look forward to continuing to support entities within the State over the term of the Contract.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding this correspondence, please contact Julie Pfaffle, Client Executive - State of Wisconsin at 608-509-8810 or julie.pfaffle@verizonwireless.com or Donald Miller, Associate Director - Public Sector Sales, at 312-405-5515 or don.b.miller@verizonwireless.com.

1 We are able to make Equipment available to our government customers at significantly lower prices than the manufacturer’s list prices by offering various subsidies in exchange for the customer meeting certain conditions. Here, if the Customer purchases Equipment from Verizon Wireless at a discounted price and then disconnects that Equipment from the Verizon network, or moves the Equipment to a price plan with a lower monthly rate prior to the expiration of 24 months after the date of activation, Verizon Wireless may recover an Offer Recovery Fee for the disconnected Equipment. The Offer Recovery Fee will be the difference between the full retail price of the Equipment at time of purchase and the discounted price paid by the Customer for the Equipment, plus any additional service discounts, credits, waived fees, and other offers provided, less 1/24 of that amount for each month the Equipment was connected to the line of service.
