Required qualifications include Tennessee contractor licensure, registration with the Tennessee Department of Revenue for sales and use tax or documentation of exemption, compliance certification with the Iran Divestment Act, and non-debarment status verification.

The contract will be awarded to the lowest cost responsive bidder, and all bids must be submitted through the State's EDISON Supplier Portal.
