Applicants are also prohibited from including the manufacturer’s name or brand on their FCC Form 470 or in the requests for proposals (RFPs) without including the words “or equivalent” to describe the requested service or product. During the review, it was determined that the applicant included a manufacturer or brand name for the requested products or services without including “or equivalent.” Specifically, the applicant included "Cisco Firewall" on the cited FCC Form 470 and RFP.
