Current as of January 02, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) Corrective SPIN change. A “corrective SPIN change” is any amendment to the SPIN associated with a Funding Request Number that does not involve a change to the service provider associated with that Funding Request Number. An applicant under the Telecommunications Program or the Healthcare Connect Fund Program may file a request for a corrective SPIN change with the Administrator to:

(1) Correct ministerial errors;

(2) Update the service provider's SPIN that resulted from a merger or acquisition of companies;  or

(3) Effectuate a change to the SPIN that does not involve a change to the service provider of a funding request and was not initiated by the applicant.

(b) Operational SPIN Change. An “operational SPIN change” is any change to the service provider associated with a Funding Request Number. An applicant under the Telecommunications Program or the Healthcare Connect Fund Program may file a request for an operational SPIN change with the Administrator if:

(1) The applicant has a legitimate reason to change providers (e.g., breach of contract or the service provider is unable to perform);  and

(2) The applicant's newly selected service provider received the next highest point value in the original bid evaluation, assuming there were multiple bidders.

(c) Filing deadline. An applicant must file their request for a corrective or operational SPIN change with the Administrator no later than the service delivery deadline as defined by § 54.626.
