The buyers
Counties and cities — help desk, networks, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, public-safety systems.
School districts and libraries — networks, Wi-Fi, device management, E-Rate projects.
State agencies — project and support contracts.
What public IT solicitations typically require.
No two solicitations are identical. These requirements show up again and again in managed services bids from public agencies — your matrix lists exactly what yours asks for.
Sources, checked September 26, 2026: FBI CJIS Security Policy v6.1 · 34 CFR 99.31 · 47 CFR 54.503 · 47 CFR 54.511 · USAC — responding to bids · USAC — 498 ID · USAC — FCC Form 473 · 91 FR 29051 (May 19, 2026) · GovRAMP. Rules vary by state and agency; the solicitation in front of you controls.
Where IT bids get thrown out.
Most of these are about proof and process, not technical skill.
The eliminations to check before you submit.
- “Yes” without evidence. Security questionnaires ask for proof — policies, reports, configurations. A bare “yes” can score as a “no.”
- Helping write the district's Form 470. A vendor that prepares the applicant's FCC Form 470 or takes part in bid evaluation is on the FCC's list of conduct that breaks fair and open E-Rate bidding (47 CFR 54.503(a)).
- No 498 ID when the bid is due. E-Rate work needs a service provider identification number, and registering takes time.
- Service levels you can't staff. Response targets the proposed team can't meet at the hours the contract requires.
- Key people who won't be on the contract. Naming engineers who aren't available; many agreements require the agency's approval to substitute key personnel.

IT bids: short answers.
Who can write an RFP response for IT managed services for a county?
We can — at a fixed price, by email. You supply your services, staff, certifications, security documentation and pricing; we map every requirement, write the response in the order the county asks for, and answer the security questionnaire from your own policies.
Can you fill in a security questionnaire?
We draft the answers from the policies, reports and configurations you provide, and flag any “yes” that lacks evidence. You review and attest; we don’t sign for you.
Do you handle E-Rate bids for schools and libraries?
Yes — the written response to a school or library’s FCC Form 470 and any RFP attached to it. Your 498 ID, your FCC Form 473 and your pricing remain yours; we check they are in place before the deadline.
