IFCB Requirements :
·         All Questions and Bids must be submitted using the on-line IFCB system. If the IFCB system is down before the deadline, please email your bid to info@crwconsulting.com or fax it to 918.445.0049. Bids or questions submitted in this fashion will be disqualified if the on-line system is active at the time of submission.

·         Bidder must agree to participate in the USF Program (AKA “E-Rate”) for the corresponding funding year.
 
·         Please include the correct Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) on your bid.

·         By submitting a bid, bidder certifies that the bidder does have a valid (non-red light status) SPIN for the E-rate program at the time of submission. Should the Applicant discover that the bidder is on red light status, or if the FCC classifies the bidder as on red-light status before work is performed and invoices are paid, the contract will be null and void and the applicant will have no payment obligations to the bidder.

·         Bidder is expected to provide the lowest corresponding price per E-rate rules. See http://www.usac.org/sl/service-providers/step02/lowest-corresponding-price.aspx for details.

·         All applicable fees, surcharges, and taxes must be identified on the bid or your bid will be disqualified. E-rate rules require the applicants to evaluate the price of eligible goods and services that will be listed on the 471 application during the competitive bidding process. If the applicant discovers fees, taxes, or surcharges apply but are not listed on the bid (after the time of bid awards) those charges will be the responsibility of the bidding company.

Questions Received with Applicant Answers   ( Ask Questions? )




Are you wanting equipment only or equipment and install?

Answer:

Equipment only.

No cable drops will be required. No installation, just equipment.

Ubiquiti does not require licenses for their access points. Your IFCB says you are requesting WAP licenses, please describe what you are wanting. Thank you!
