Find the E-Rate opportunities that matter to your business. SkyRate AI indexes every Form 470 filing and lets you search by manufacturer, product category, state, and more — so you can discover leads before your competitors do.
Every E-Rate funding cycle, schools and libraries file thousands of Form 470s requesting bids on technology products and services. The vendors who find these filings first win the most business. SkyRate AI gives you that first-mover advantage.
How Form 470 Lead Discovery Works
When a school or library needs E-Rate-funded technology, they file a Form 470 with USAC to solicit competitive bids. This form describes exactly what products or services they need, their budget, timeline, and contact information. As an E-Rate vendor, these filings are your primary source of qualified leads.
SkyRate AI monitors the USAC database continuously, indexes new Form 470 filings as they appear, and alerts you when a filing matches your product categories, manufacturers, or target geography. Instead of manually searching USAC's clunky portal, you get curated leads delivered to your dashboard.
