Request for Proposal
Solicitation # PE-55087-NONST-2027-000000026
The Jackson County School System is soliciting proposals for Wide Area Network (WAN) services, specifically leased lit fiber, to provide standalone data transmission for 22 locations in Georgia. The contract is for an initial one-year term starting July 1, 2027, and ending June 30, 2028, with the option for four voluntary one-year extensions. The district requires a flexible solution that allows for bandwidth adjustments and the addition or removal of school sites without additional charges or new contracts. Bidders must provide pricing in 5 Gbps increments, ranging from a minimum of 10 Gbps to a maximum of 40 Gbps, and must itemize all costs, including port and circuit charges, installation, and project management. This project is 100% contingent upon funding approval from the Universal Service Fund's Schools and Libraries Program (E-Rate). Consequently, service providers must comply with Federal Communications Commission rules, including the Lowest Corresponding Price rule, and will be required to file Form 474 for reimbursement directly from USAC within 120 days of the last day of service. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format to Brett Irvin by November 3, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. Evaluation is based on a 100-point rating system, and failure to complete the RFP form and all associated appendices will result in disqualification.
