About this file

This document is an FCC Form 470 for Funding Year 2026 submitted by Green Bay Area Public School District, involving a request for E-Rate program services related to firewall licenses and support. The district is seeking internal connections and maintenance for firewall services, specifically requesting 2 Fortinet or equivalent firewall licenses with installation and initial configuration, along with basic maintenance for 46 existing firewall components. The request covers 47 eligible entities including charter schools, Head Start, pre-K, and public schools, with all potential bidders required to offer the Lowest Corresponding Price and comply with specific procurement restrictions.

Vendors must adhere to federal regulations prohibiting equipment from manufacturers like Huawei and ZTE, and must submit bids that will be available for review for at least 28 days. The district emphasizes cost-effectiveness as the primary selection criteria, with price being the key factor in choosing a service provider. The form indicates the district is seeking to license and support existing equipment, with managed internal broadband services included to reflect potential software considerations.

Service providers must refer to the attached Service Specifications for full details and instructions on how to submit a bid. Subject to contract restrictions, services may be reevaluated for cost-effectiveness anytime during the year. As required by E-rate rules, all bids in response to this Form 470 must offer the Lowest Corresponding Price ("LCP") see https:// www.usac.org/e-rate/service-providers/ step-2-responding-to-bids/lowest-corresponding-price/. Bidders proposing equipment whose prices may increase depending upon new U.S. government tariffs imposed on foreign imports are encouraged to (a) identify such products in their bids, and (b) propose an acceptable methodology for limiting price adjustments over the life of the contract. Bidders proposing to temporarily loan equipment for product demonstration and/or evaluation purposes are required to clearly state that such loans are of limited duration. Product demos extending beyond thirty (30) days must be explicitly authorized by both parties and provided at a fair market rate. By submitting a bid on the requested services herein, the vendor certifies its proposed services and/or products are in compliance with Part 47 Section 54.9 and 54.10 of the FCC rules which prohibits the sale, provision, maintenance, modification, or other support of equipment or services provided or manufactured by Huawei, ZTE, or any other covered company posing a national security threat to the integrity of communications networks or the communications supply chain.

In accordance with Section 54.503 of the Federal Communications Commission’s (“Commission”) rules, certain schools and libraries ordering services that are eligible for and seeking universal service discounts must file this Description of Services Requested and Certification Form (FCC Form 470) with the Universal Service Administrator. 47 C.F.R. § 54.503. The collection of information stems from the Commission’s authority under Section 254 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. 47 U.S.C. § 254. The data in the report will be used to ensure that schools and libraries comply with the competitive bidding requirement contained in 47 C.F.R. § 54.503. Schools and libraries must file this form themselves or as part of a consortium.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The FCC is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to collect the information requested in this form. We will use the information you provide to determine whether you have complied with the competitive bidding requirements applicable to requests for universal service discounts. If we believe there may be a violation or a potential violation of any applicable statute, regulation, rule or order, the information you provide in this form may be referred to the Federal, state, or local agency responsible for investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing the statute, rule, regulation or order. In certain cases, the information you provide in this form may be disclosed to the Department of Justice or a court or adjudicative body when (a) the FCC; or (b) any employee of the FCC; or (c) the United States Government is a party of a proceeding before the body or has an interest in the proceeding. In addition, information provided in or submitted with this form, or in response to subsequent inquiries, may also be subject to disclosure consistent with the Communications Act of 1934, FCC regulations, the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, or other applicable law.

If you owe a past due debt to the federal government, the information you provide in this form may also be disclosed to the Department of the Treasury Financial Management Service, other Federal agencies and/or your employer to offset your salary, IRS tax refund or other payments to collect that debt. The FCC may also provide the information to these agencies through the matching of computer records when authorized.

If you do not provide the information we request on the form, the FCC or Universal Service Administrator may return your form without action or deny a related request for universal service discounts.
