About this file
This is an FCC Form 470 submitted by the Green Bay Area Public School District for the Universal Service Administrative Company's E-Rate program for Funding Year 2026. The district is requesting switches and corresponding components from service providers, specifically seeking Extreme Networks switches or equivalent, with a total quantity of 279 units across 46 eligible entities. The request includes internal connections such as switches, necessary software and licenses, antennas, connective components, and cabling, with installation and initial configuration required. The document indicates the Form 470 will be available for potential bidders' review for at least 28 days before considering received bids, with the selected bid to be the most cost-effective service or equipment offering.
The procurement is structured under E-Rate program guidelines, with service providers required to offer the Lowest Corresponding Price and comply with specific federal regulations, including prohibitions on equipment from certain manufacturers deemed potential national security risks. The district has 47 total eligible entities participating, including charter schools, head start programs, pre-K, and public schools. Funding will be sought through universal service discounts, and the district emphasizes that purchased services will be used primarily for educational purposes. The technical specifications indicate a preference for Extreme Networks equipment, with basic maintenance of internal connections and managed internal broadband services also included in the request.

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.

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.
