Further, applicants must conduct a fair and open competitive bidding process that does not indicate a preference for one technology solution over another. Specifically, being technology neutral when seeking bids for Dark Fiber and Lit Fiber solutions. Specifically, the applicant indicated in the FCC Form 470 Narrative and the RFP uploaded to the FCC Form 470 that they were seeking bids for dark fiber service and required a dark fiber connection between schools within the district.
