$24,000 for eight fixtures
Verified award; procurement status not established
Source-backed fact
What changed
Amherst Regional Public Schools received a Massachusetts SWIG award for eight fixtures. SWIG normally gives recipients one year to procure, install, test and close out an award. Massachusetts is also transitioning the broader program and authorized a temporary pause in new activity as necessary, while existing awards continue.
Source-backed fact
Who is affected
- Amherst-Pelham Regional School District facilities and operations
- District finance and procurement
- The facilities assigned to the eight funded fixtures
PolicySight analysis
Why it matters for FloWater
This is a real funded account with a defined fixture count and identifiable decision path. The remaining question is whether specifications, quotes, ordering or installation are already complete.
PolicySight analysis
Recommended action
Verify procurement status before any sales outreach. If still open, provide a concise technical and pricing package that addresses SWIG specifications, installed cost, replacement filters, post-installation testing and the district procurement route.
