Please fill in the following spreadsheets with Description of Products, Part Numbers (if applicable), Quantity, and Price for the items proposed by your company.

The district is open to all manufacturers and will accept quotes for any and all equivalent products. Vendor quoted equipment compatibility: Although functionally equivalent equipment may be submitted for consideration, the equipment quoted must be interoperable and compatible with the District’s existing network. The District reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantity of product and services to be purchased after the pricing proposals are received.

Additional line items or parts may be added if needed to reflect a complete proposal.

Formulas included in the spreadsheet are for convenience only - each bidder is required to confirm that the pricing and formulas are correct.

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.
