Subject: Centurylink protest of award to AT&T: should we care?
[This notice is from April of this year, and I don't know why it took
so long for the search engines to crawl the site. - mod]
Highlights:
Qwest Government Services, Inc. d/b/a CenturyLink QGS (CenturyLink),
of Monroe, Louisiana, protests the issuance of task orders to AT&T
Corp., of Oakton, Virginia, under fair opportunity request for
proposals (RFP) No. 70RTAC20R00000026, issued by the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) for DHS headquarters core data (HQCD)
requirements. The protesters contend that the agency's evaluation of
offerors' task order proposals and resulting award decision were
improper.
We deny the protest.

Subject: TCPA Regulatory Update - Strong Support For USTelecom To
Remain Leader Of Registered Traceback Consortium
by Russell H. Fox (Boston) and Jonathan P. Garvin (Washington, DC)
Pursuant to the Pallone-Thune Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal
Enforcement and Deterrence Act ("TRACED Act") and FCC rules, the FCC
must annually select a single registered consortium that conducts
private-led efforts to trace back the origin of suspected unlawful
robocalls. Since July 27, 2020, the USTelecom Industry Traceback Group
has been designated as the registered traceback consortium. However,
each year other interested parties may submit letters of intent to be
designated as the registered consortium.
