Pennsylvania E-rate data: open Form 470s and Category 2 budgets

54 certified Form 470s in Pennsylvania are inside their 28-day bidding window for funding year 2027: 41 request Category 1 services and 15 request Category 2 services (some request both). 77 have been posted for FY2027 so far.

We estimate about $332.5 million remaining out of $401.2 million across 849 districts and independent schools for FY2026–FY2030. Each school's budget is $201.57 per student with a $30,175 minimum, less the pre-discount cost of Category 2 requests already funded or pending this cycle.

It is the earliest date the applicant may sign a contract: 28 days after the Form 470 is certified. Providers should get bids in before then, though many applicants keep evaluating bids afterwards.

Contact names, emails and phone numbers, full service line items and RFP documents are available in EduErate. Start a free trial to see them, set up alerts for new 470s, and write your bid response.
