Lenoir County Public Schools is soliciting proposals for a fully managed wide area network connecting its instructional and administrative facilities.

Proposals must address service-level requirements including 99.99% availability, specified packet-loss, latency, and jitter commitments, 24/7/365 support, two-hour outage response, and four-hour restoration. Vendors must provide a network diagram, implementation timeline, three comparable customer references, pricing for current and potential future sites, and a signed acknowledgment of E-Rate program integrity requirements.
