Description

Sampson County School District is seeking bids for a five-year fiber WAN contract covering 22 sites and the central office. The required service must provide scalable bandwidth from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps at school sites and from 10 Gbps to 25 Gbps at the central office, with the ability to increase or decrease capacity and add or close sites during the contract term. The district prefers a sole provider but will consider bids covering only a portion of the sites. A Q&A response identifies New Hobbton High School at 12240 Hobbton Highway, Newton Grove, North Carolina 28366 and provides site-plan documents for fiber-build planning. The contract must include fiber connectivity into each school or site, all necessary equipment, setup and installation, fees and taxes, a speed-based price book, and 24-hour monitoring and problem resolution. All sites must be operational by August 12, 2027, and the contract is contingent on E-rate funding. Bidders must comply with Lowest Corresponding Price requirements, identify charges ineligible for E-rate funding, and provide flexible terms for the five-year base period and five one-year optional extensions.
