DR1:The description for the products and services on the cited FCC Form 470 for all of the products and/or services in the FRN contains a particular manufacturer’s name, brand, products and/or services without also specifying “or equivalent”. This is a competitive bidding violation because there is no indication that FCC Form 470/RFP is also allowing a service provider to submit a bid for equivalent products and/or services. This undermines the competitive bidding process by eliminating the opportunity for the applicant to purchase an equivalent or better product that may be less expensive or to choose a less expensive service provider.||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 Contract Expiration Date was changed from 06/30/2022 to 06/30/2023 to agree with the documentation provided during the review of the FCC Form 471.
