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.
The procurement is funded through the Universal Service Administrative Company's E-Rate program, with strict requirements that services be used primarily for educational purposes. 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.

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.

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 FCC is authorized under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to collect the information requested in this form.
