FCDL Comment:
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.||MR1:The FRN was modified from $247,289.06 to 246,239.06 to agree with the applicant documentation.
