Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) Program Pre-Registration

Welcome to the Arizona Broadband Access, Equity and Deployment (BEAD) pre-registration page. This platform is designed for broadband providers looking to participate in the BEAD grant offered by the State Broadband Office. Pre-registration is required for all potential applicant's participation in the BEAD program. 

Pre-registration is intended to streamline the application process, serving as a gating stage to ensure applicants meet the program’s minimum and mandatory requirements. The State Broadband Office will use the information submitted during pre-registration to assess a potential applicant’s financial, technical, managerial, operational and other capabilities, as outlined in the BEAD Notice of Funding (NOFO), Arizona's BEAD Initial Proposal Volume II and the NTIA BEAD Restructuring Policy released June 6, 2025. 

To begin, new users must complete the registration process on this page. Your registration will be reviewed by the State Broadband Office. Once approved, you will receive an email providing access to the Arizona BEAD portal. All portal emails will originate from noreply@bead.azcommerce.com, please be sure to whitelist this domain. 

The deadline to submit Pre-Registration for the Benefit of the Bargain round is June 30, 2025, 5:00pm MST.

This portal will serve as your central hub for all interactions, including BEAD grant applications, progress reporting and post-award reimbursements.
