SPIN Tracker

Look up E-Rate service providers by name or SPIN code from the USAC provider registry.

What is a SPIN?

A Service Provider Identification Number (SPIN) is a unique 9-digit code assigned to every vendor registered to provide E-Rate-funded services. Vendors must hold an active SPIN to be paid through the E-Rate program.

How to search

By provider name: Type the company name — full or partial. Searches both the official provider name and DBA name.

By SPIN code: Enter the 9-digit SPIN code for an exact lookup.

Natural language: Type "Cisco Systems" or "fiber providers in California" — the AI extracts the provider name and optional state filter.

Reading the results

Each row shows:

• ·SPIN — the 9-digit identification number
• ·Provider Name — official registered name
• ·DBA — doing-business-as name if different
• ·State — mailing state
• ·Contact — general contact name, email, and phone

Verifying a vendor

Before signing an E-Rate contract, verify that the vendor holds an active SPIN and that their FCC Form 498 is current. A lapsed 498 will prevent USAC from processing invoices.

Common use cases

• ·Verifying a vendor is SPIN-registered before award
• ·Finding the contact for a provider you want to do business with
• ·Checking if a provider's DBA matches their SPIN registration
