INTERNAL CONNECTIONS

DR1:As a result of a competitive bidding process, SAN JUAN UNIFIED SCHOOL DIST entered into a contract with CDW Government LLC – SPIN 143005588 for Internal Connection on 3/12/2019. Program rules require that applicants must select the most cost-effective provider of the desired products and services eligible for support, with price of eligible products and services as the primary evaluation factor (See 47 C.F.R. § 54.511). Based on documentation provided to USAC, all FRNs on FCC Form 471 # 191001044 referencing FCC Form 470 # 190018110 are denied for failure to adhere to the criteria outlined in the vendor selection documentation. Although price of eligible products and services is listed the primary evaluation factor, the scores assigned for the price category do not demonstrate that price was the primary factor. During the vendor evaluation process, it was noted that both the winning bid (CDW-G) and Versitron both received 40/40 points from all evaluators besides one - who gave Versitron a 30/40 - despite Versitron offering the lower bid. SCR determines that scoring for price factor was not done correctly. Therefore, all FRNs referencing FCC Form 470 # 190018110 are denied.
