Jackson County School System seeks leased lit-fiber WAN services for approximately 22 locations

Jackson County School System is seeking leased lit-fiber WAN services to connect school and administrative locations. - Government buyer: Jackson County School System, serving Jackson County, Georgia; no sub-agency or procurement office is identified. - Service requested: Approximately 22 leased lit-fiber WAN circuits for school and administrative sites. The RFP seeks 10–40 Gbps per location, priced in 5 Gbps increments; the related FCC Form 470 lists a maximum capacity of 50 Gbps, creating a discrepancy to clarify. - Locations: The sites include high, middle, and elementary schools, Empower College and Career Academy, the Board of Education, and additional planned locations in the Jackson County area. - Requirements: Proposals should explain physical and logical connections, configuration, and routing, and itemize required equipment, installation, circuit, port, and other charges. The district prefers one provider and requires flexibility to add or close sites and adjust bandwidth without increasing the applicable unit recurring price. - Named organizations: No WAN provider, manufacturer, or product brand is named. Federal Funding Advisors, LLC is identified as the district’s E-Rate consultant, not as a service provider. - Funding and term: The contract is contingent on E-Rate funding; vendors are asked to invoice USAC directly for the eligible share. The service period is one year, with four voluntary one-year extensions.
