Ascend704 Managed Network & NOC

South Piedmont Community College is soliciting a fully managed Network Operations Center as a Service for its new Ascend704 Entrepreneurship Center in North Carolina, under solicitation number 76-20260714, with responses due by August 13, 2026. The procurement targets a comprehensive audiovisual and network infrastructure solution, involving the installation and integration of equipment from Crestron, Shure, Samsung, and NEC across multiple collaborative and meeting spaces, including networked video extenders, ceiling microphones, displays, control systems, amplifiers, speakers, and switching infrastructure. While the solicitation outlines specific quantities of hardware such as 10 Crestron DM-NVX-360 units and 24 SAROS ceiling microphones, it does not include pricing, estimated contract value, or detailed technical specifications beyond equipment listing. The place of performance is confirmed as North Carolina, and the contract falls under NAICS code 518210 for other telecommunications services. The primary point of contact is Anthony Barbour, and the solicitation was posted on July 21, 2026. No federal acquisition regulation clauses, evaluation factors, inspection procedures, contract administration details, special requirements, or representations and certifications were provided in the available documentation. Submission instructions, including format, portal, or media requirements, are not specified, and no information is available on the basis of award, payment procedures, contracting officer details, or performance timelines beyond the deadline. The absence of key contractual components suggests the solicitation relies heavily on vendor proposals to define compliance, implementation, and support methodology for the managed NOC and AV integration services.
