LOWEST CORRESPONDING PRICE (LCP):

Lowest corresponding price is defined as the lowest price that a service provider charges to nonresidential customers who are similarly situated to a particular applicant (school, library, or consortium) for similar services. See 47 C.F.R. § 54.500.

Service providers cannot charge applicants a price above the LCP for E-rate Program services. See 47 C.F.R. § 54.511(b).

This ensures that: 1) service providers do not charge applicants more than they would charge their other customers for the same services. See First Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 8776, 9031-32, para. 484; and 2) any lack of experience in negotiating in a service market does not prevent applicants from receiving competitive prices. See First Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 8776, 9031, para. 484.

A service provider – regardless of the size of the company or the category of service provided – must ensure that the LCP is provided to applicants. The applicant is not obligated to ask for it, but must receive it. See 1996 Universal Service Order, 12 FCC Rcd 87, 383, para. 540.
