DR1:Documentation that contained information needed for potential bidders to respond to your RFP was not available for 28 days in the E-rate Productivity Portal before selecting your service provider. On 02/15/2017 you uploaded an RFP addendum that contains significant information for the bidders to be able to respond to the FCC Form 470 and RFP. However, this documentation was not available in the E-rate Productivity Portal for 28 days before you selected the service provider on 02/28/2017. Therefore, this FRN is denied. Program procedures require the FCC Form 470, RFP and any documentation providing the additional or modifying the original information in your FCC Form 470 and/or Request for Proposal be uploaded into the FCC Form 470 in the E-rate Productivity Portal and made available for 28 days before selecting a service provider. ||DR2:This FRN will be denied because documentation provided during review indicated that bidders must be identified and listed on Gartner Magic Quadrant. This is a competitive bidding violation because it deters other service providers from submitting a bid for services which may be more cost effective and interferes with the fair and open competitive bidding process required by FCC Rules.
