RFI Process Considerations

Although FCC will retain the right to do so, it does not intend to award a contract as an immediate outcome of this RFI. FCC anticipates that this RFI will produce one of the following outcomes:

• Identification of several suitable providers and/or products that FCC may choose to further examine or pursue (e.g. through a subsequent competitive selection process).
• Identification of only one provider and/or product that FCC may choose to further examine or pursue.
• The decision by FCC to re-evaluate, postpone or abandon further pursuit of a product.
