This is a Form 470 Filing document for the West Ada School District (WASD), the largest school district in Idaho with 40,000 students across 59 school sites located within Ada County, Canyon County, and six municipalities (Boise, Meridian, Star, Eagle, Nampa, and Kuna). The District is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide licenses for network switches under Category One E-Rate funding for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The filing identifies Form 470 Application Number 260008452 and indicates that WASD will be accepting bids from vendors capable of supplying the required network switch enterprise agreement licenses to support the District's technology infrastructure across its 35 elementary schools, 11 middle schools, 12 high schools, and one K-12 school spanning 382 square miles.

The Form 470 filing serves as the formal notification required by the E-Rate program to ensure competitive bidding and pricing transparency. As a Category One E-Rate eligible service, any contract resulting from this procurement will be subject to E-Rate program requirements and funding limitations. This filing establishes the formal procurement timeline and allows vendors to submit proposals for network switch licensing solutions. The procurement is designed to ensure that WASD receives competitive pricing and terms for enterprise network infrastructure investments while maintaining compliance with federal E-Rate program guidelines and regulations governing eligible services and equipment for educational institutions.
