VOICE SERVICES

MR1: The category of service was changed from Telecomm to Voice Services in accordance with Program rules. <><><><><> DR1: Based on the documentation provided during the review process, the funding request will be denied for failing to demonstrate that price was the primary criteria in the vendor selection process. An evaluation sheet/bid evaluation matrix was not provided during the review to show how bid options from service providers Verizon and Metcomm were evaluated. Without the evaluation sheet/bid evaluation matrix, USAC is unable to determine that price was the primary factor in the selection of the vendor. Applicants must construct an evaluation for consideration of bids received in response to the posting of the FCC Form 470 that makes price the primary factor in the selection of a vendor. You failed to adhere to this requirement and the FRN is denied.
