From the meeting

The District said proposed changes to the federal E-Rate program could significantly affect technology costs and its ability to maximize technology funding. That is a budget-planning signal, not a solicitation, but it points to upcoming decisions on connectivity, devices, and eligible services. A seller should watch for the District's response as it aligns future technology spending with federal funding rules.

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.
