The state replacement spin can be used in the following instances: (1) there is an expiring State Master Contract; (2) a FCC Form 470 posted to USAC's website for 28 days by a state agency or (3) its authorized agent must establish the competitive bidding for the expiring state master contract. In your response you indicated that the contracts are not actually expiring, therefore, you requested to cancel the FRN. While we acknowledge the cancellation request, the FRN is denied. Program procedures for State Replacement Contracts, non-recurring services can only be requested once either under the expiring State Master Contract or the State Replacement Contract.
