(Updated 1/18/2023)

1.)
Question: When does the bidding window end?

Answer: The bidding window officially closes at 11:59pm (PST) on 1/18/2023.  Bids after this date will not be accepted unless we receive written notice (email, letter, or fax) requesting an extension before 11:59pm (PST) on the closing date (1/18/2023).  Those requesting extensions must have their bid submitted no later than 11:59pm (PST) 1/31/2023.

2.)
Question: Is email an acceptable form of submittal?  Is email acceptable for submitting a request of extension of time?

Answer: Yes, email is an acceptable form of submittal in both instances.

3.)
Question: If possible I would like to request additional time to bid.

Answer: I have asked our E-Rate consultant to extend our bidding window to Jan 31, 2023, 11:59PM (PST) for both our Category 1 and Category 2 applications.

Also, please note, our Category 1 application is requesting network switches as well (provide connectivity for WAN links).

4.)
Question: So, there is no need to file an extension if needed?

Answer: If we extend for one vendor, we have to extend for all.  So technically no, but it never hurts to have a direct request from you as well for our documentation.

The Jan 31, 2023, 11:59PM (PST) is the new deadline for submitting bids.
