## Description

Rural Development (RD) is committed to helping improve the economy and quality of life in rural America. Through RD programs, we help rural Americans in many ways. RD’s funding mechanisms through financed loans, loan guarantees, and grants help to create jobs and support economic development and essential services such as housing, health care, first responder services and equipment, water, electric and communications infrastructure.

RD administers various Rural Utilities Service (RUS) Telecommunications Program loan and grant programs. These programs provide financial assistance in the form of loans and grants for the construction, improvement and acquisition of facilities and infrastructure necessary to deliver broadband services to rural areas. The ReConnect Program is an initiative aimed at expanding access to broadband internet services in rural areas.

The goal of the program is to facilitate high-speed internet connectivity in communities that are underserved or lack sufficient access to reliable, high-quality broadband service. The purpose of this effort is to review applications from eligible entities which includes but is not limited to; environmental compliance reviews, requirements, regulations and policies. The award is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a 3-year ordering period from May 1, 2025 through April 30, 2028.
