Bidding credits are available to small businesses or consortia thereof, as defined in 47 C.F.R. §§ 90.810 and 90.814. A bidding credit is a payment discount on a winning bid determined at the conclusion of the bidding process. The size of the bidding credit depends on the average annual gross revenues for the preceding three years of the bidder, its affiliates, its controlling interests, and the affiliates of its controlling interests:
- A bidder with attributed average annual gross revenues of not more than $15 million for the preceding three years receives a 10 percent discount on its winning bid(s) for the 900 MHz SMR license(s)
- A bidder with attributed average annual gross revenues of not more than $3 million for the preceding three years receives a 15 percent discount on its winning bid(s) for the 900 MHz SMR license(s)
Additional information on the tribal land bidding credit, including how the amount of the credit is calculated, can be found on the Commission’s web site by going to Tribal Land Credits.
