Flex High School Ohio is seeking fiber-optic internet service for two Columbus locations.
- **Buyer:** Flex High School Ohio, Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio.
- **Current request:** Two 1 Gbps fiber internet circuits, one at 567–575 W. Broad Street and one at 5175 Main St., Columbus, Ohio.
  - Each circuit must include a /29 block of static public IPv4 addresses, with five usable addresses that are externally facing and reachable from the internet without routing through a firewall or NAT.
  - Bidders must identify whether service is available in each building or construction is required; if construction is needed, provide an estimated completion timeline.
- **Pricing and term options:** Provide pricing for 12-, 24-, and 36-month terms, with two optional one-year renewals. Month-to-month offers may also be considered.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No manufacturer or service provider is specified for the current fiber-service request. **ICC** was named as a preferred cabling manufacturer in the earlier, superseded notice, which requested up to 250 data drops; that cabling scope is not the current request.
- **Notable change:** The opportunity changed from Category 2 cabling materials and installation to Category 1 fiber-optic internet service.
