Form 470 Generator

Generate compliant, vendor-neutral Form 470 service descriptions and full RFP documents from your district information and BOM.

Why this matters

Writing a Form 470 service description incorrectly is one of the most common reasons E-Rate applications are flagged or denied. The description must be:

• ·Vendor-neutral — no brand names, model numbers, or proprietary specifications
• ·Specific enough — to define what you actually need
• ·Broad enough — to allow genuine competitive bidding

Getting this right usually requires an experienced E-Rate consultant. This tool does it automatically.
