The RFP also outlines the invoicing and payment terms, including the vendor's responsibility to file the FCC Form 474 (Service Provider Invoice Form) to request reimbursement from USAC for the discount amount. The RFP does not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify a budget range for the project.
