Timeline

Per the 6.6.25 BEAD Restructuring Policy Notice, all prior subgrantee selection rounds have been voided in place of a final “Benefit of the Bargain” round to be held in early July. Following this final application round, NDIT will review submissions, deconflict those with overlapping locations, and request updated information, as needed. NDIT will score applications and notify successful subgrantees of conditional award determination.
