FCDL Comment:
DR1:A contract for a new service was signed or entered into prior to the expiration of the RFP due date. Specifically, the RFP attached to FCC Form 470 #210009813 has a bid submission deadline of 2/9/2021 when the contract was awarded on 2/3/2021. Since a decision to award the contract occurred before the RFP due, the competitive bidding process was not fair and open to allow all possible providers an opportunity to submit a bid. Since this requirement was not met, the FRN is denied.||DR2:FCC Rules require applicants to retain all documentation for ten years regarding the competitive bidding process. The applicant failed to provide vendor bid score/evaluation sheet or other vendor selection documentation. Therefore, this FRN is denied.||MR1:The Type of Internal Connection for FRN Line Item 2199035173.002 was modified from Data Distribution to Module to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR2:The Type of Product for FRN Line Item 2199035173.002 was modified from Switch to Module to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR3:The Type of Internal Connection for FRN Line Item 2199035173.004 was modified from Data Distribution ?to Cabling/Connectors to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR4:The Type of Product for FRN Line Item 2199035173.004 was modified from Switch to Cabling to agree with the applicant documentation.||MR5:FRN modified in accordance with a RAL request.
