Solicitation 24-RQ220144-NM is a Request for Proposal Lite issued by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction to establish statewide convenience contracts with qualified vendors for E-Rate Category Two eligible internal connections equipment, installation, maintenance, and managed services.

Proposals must be submitted via the Ariba Sourcing Module by November 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET. Awarded vendors must comply with FCC E-Rate Eligible Services List requirements, E-Verify regulations, and various safety and technical standards, including ADA, OSHA, and the National Electrical Code.
