Kittrell Job Corps Center-12 Strand Fiber Optic Replacement- Bldg 2, Bldg 3, Bldg 4

Covenant Learning Solutions, operator of the Kittrell Job Corps Center in North Carolina, is soliciting sealed bids for the replacement of the existing 12-strand aerial fiber optic cable and associated connectors connecting Buildings 2, 3, and 4. The selected contractor must provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, testing, and supervision to ensure a complete and operational installation.

This solicitation is set aside for various small business categories, including Small Disadvantaged, Women-Owned, HUBZone, and Veteran-Owned small businesses. Interested bidders must attend a pre-bid meeting on September 17, 2026, and submit their final proposals by the deadline of September 30, 2026. The submission process requires a completed bid form including company information, pricing, and certifications, though no bid or performance bonds are required.
