§ 54.511   Ordering services.

   (a)  Selecting  a provider of eligible services. Except as exempted in
   § 54.503(e),  in  selecting  a  provider of eligible services, schools,
   libraries, library consortia, and consortia including any of those entities
   shall  carefully  consider all bids submitted and must select the most
   cost-effective service offering. In determining which service offering is
   the most cost-effective, entities may consider relevant factors other than
   the pre-discount prices submitted by providers, but price should be the
   primary factor considered.

   (b) Lowest corresponding price. Providers of eligible services shall not
   submit bids for or charge schools, school districts, libraries, library
   consortia, or consortia including any of these entities a price above the
   lowest corresponding price for supported services, unless the Commission,
   with respect to interstate services or the state commission with respect to
   intrastate  services, finds that the lowest corresponding price is not
   compensatory. Promotional rates offered by a service provider for a period
   of more than 90 days must be included among the comparable rates upon which
   the lowest corresponding price is determined.
