Eligible Products Database

The Eligible Products Database was established pursuant to the FCC’s Second Report and Order in Docket 02-6 (FCC 03-101, released on April 30, 2003). Under this program, manufacturers may submit information about their eligible Internal Connections products for posting to the publicly available database.

Use the selections for Related Documents, at the right, to view Eligible Products Database entries, to create an online Item 21 Attachment or, for manufacturers, to submit product information.

The Eligible Products Database may be used by applicants in preparing their FCC Form 471 funding requests. Applicants are free to request funding for any eligible product or service, and are not limited to the products within the Eligible Products Database.

The current database is limited to Internal Connections products. Information in the database includes the product name, a product description, and an indication of the type of product (such as router, PBX, file server, etc.). The information is based on factual product details, and is not intended to include sales or marketing statements such as “ideal,” “cost-effective,” or “better than other products.”

The SLD expects manufacturers to provide an accurate and complete description of their products, and to only submit products that are eligible as Internal Connections. The SLD will not post information that it feels may be incomplete or inaccurate. Applicants will generally be able to rely on entries in the database as eligible for funding, but products must be put to an eligible use pursuant to FCC rules. Many products are eligible only if used in certain ways, and an entry in the Eligible Products Database does not constitute an endorsement that a product is eligible in all circumstances. The database includes information that indicates the conditions of eligibility for the product listings.

If you are a manufacturer of E-rate eligible internal connections products, and wish to participate in the Eligible Products Database, you may review further information in the link below titled "View further information for manufacturers."

The SLD encourages comments and feedback regarding the Eligible Products Database. SLD’s “Submit a Question” e-mail response system has been set up to facilitate this process. You may access the “Submit a Question” process by clicking the link below or by visiting the Schools and Libraries web site.  Select “Eligible Products Database” from the Topic Inquiry section.
