CPUC guides organizations through prequalification application process for BEAD program

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) held a meeting on March 27, 2025, to discuss the Prequalification Application Guide and provide technical assistance for applicants. The session aimed to clarify the prequalification process and outline the resources available to organizations seeking to apply.

During the meeting, a representative detailed the structure of the application process, emphasizing that it consists of two main parts. The first part, which was the focus of the discussion, is the prequalification application. This section requires applicants to provide general information about their organization, including resumes and details about their company or nonprofit. It is designed to assess the applicant's qualifications before moving on to the project-specific application.

The representative also highlighted the importance of understanding the prequalification requirements and encouraged participants to utilize the resources provided by CPUC to navigate the application process effectively. The meeting served as a valuable opportunity for potential applicants to gain insights into the necessary steps for successful submission.

Overall, the session underscored CPUC's commitment to supporting organizations in their application efforts, ensuring that they are well-prepared to meet the requirements of the prequalification phase. Further guidance and resources will be made available to assist applicants as they proceed to the next stages of the application process.
