For E-Rate Coordinators
Better recommendations, defended by data.
Cross-state data lookups, verified service-provider profiles, the bid-to-Item-21 workflow your districts need, and a unified workspace your team can search together. Stop spreadsheet-juggling FCC notices — start filtering.
What you get
Filter 470s, 471s, FRNs, and BEAR disbursements by any combination of state, applicant type, funding year, service category, and dollar amount. Saved searches persist per dataset.
Every SPIN comes with a public, defensible tier — Bronze through Platinum — built from real USAC award data. Recommend providers your districts can trust.
Personalized morning emails covering new 470s in your states. Tag and forward to districts before competitors notice.
Seat-based pricing, shared saved searches, and (Pro+) CRM integrations so your team's research lands in HubSpot or Salesforce automatically.
The bid evaluation workflow your districts need
You get two complementary tools that together cover the entire bid-to-Item-21 lifecycle. Enter bids once on behalf of the districts you advise; the data flows through evaluation, audit trail, and final 471 attachment.
Bid Evaluation Matrix
Score every bid your districts receive with a defensible rubric. Cost auto-computes from converter line items; you score the non-cost criteria. Generates an audit-ready PDF that holds up under USAC review.
- · USAC-style criteria template (editable)
- · Lowest-cost-gets-max formula, auto-applied
- · Signed PDF with evaluator name + date
- · Defensible documentation for every district
Bid → Item 21 Converter
Prep the Form 471 Item 21 attachment for any of your districts without retyping vendor quotes. Enter the line items once, export a USAC-formatted .xlsx matching the official V21.0 templates across every service category.
- · Spreadsheet matching USAC's V21.0 Item 21 template
- · All four categories: C1 IA, C2 IC, MIBS, BMIC
- · One workspace handles every district you advise
- · Eliminate spreadsheet rebuilds at filing time
How they work together: Enter the district’s bids in the Converter, score them side-by-side in the Matrix, then export the winning bid’s Item 21. Two tools, one continuous workflow — especially valuable when you’re running this play across multiple districts.
C2 Narrative + RFP Builder
Turn a district's equipment plan into a postable Form 470 RFP. Build the equipment list yourself, seed it from a saved C2 Budget Planner allocation, or import a recommendation file a service provider or manufacturer sends you — then let AI draft the C2 budget narrative and full RFP (technical requirements, install expectations, site maps and diagrams) grounded in exactly what you entered. Export to Word, review, and post it as your 470 attachment.
- · Seed from a budget plan, or import a vendor's CSV/Excel recommendation file
- · AI-drafted narrative + RFP sections — reviewed and editable before you post
- · Upload site maps/diagrams, embedded automatically in the exported document
- · Request a recommendation list from a provider straight from the equipment list
- · One workspace across every district you advise
The verification standard you can stand behind
When a district asks “Is this provider any good?” you need a defensible answer. Our tier scoring blends three independent signals from USAC's own data — volume, dollars, and tenure — so the badge isn't a marketing claim, it's math on public records.
