From the meeting
At its October 6, 2026 meeting, the Board accepted $29,681 in E-Rate funding for Prince William Public Libraries. The funding covered $19,728 for continued public internet access from Cox Virginia Telcom, LLC and $9,953 for firewall hardware maintenance and software from Carahsoft Technology Corporation. The work was already in service for Funding Year 2026, with the service period running July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027.
The SPI billing method means the vendors are still relevant for invoicing, renewal timing, and follow-on network security work.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Prince William County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Prince William County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Prince William County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
