E-Rate internet access for East Noble School Corporation facilities

East Noble School Corporation is seeking E-Rate internet access for two Kendallville school facilities. - Government buyer: East Noble School Corporation; no sub-agency or procurement office is identified. - Services requested: - One full-duplex internet service at the Network Operations Center / Transportation & Technology Center: 4 Gbps requested, with a listed capacity range of 2–5 Gbps. Installation and initial configuration are requested. - One full-duplex internet service at the Community Learning Center / Community Outreach Center: at least 50 Mbps requested, with a listed capacity range of 50–100 Mbps. Installation and initial configuration are requested. - Notable requirements: Both services require an RJ-45 Ethernet handoff and DDoS mitigation at no additional charge. Installation must meet applicable building codes, and site-specific labeling directions must be followed. The request is for standalone E-Rate Category 1 internet access and replaces existing services; award and implementation depend on E-Rate funding commitment. - Proposal considerations: The district prefers a three-year term and prefers the provider to bill USAC for the discounted portion. Proposals are to identify the provider’s E-Rate SPIN, separately itemize installation, labor, taxes, fees, and one-time charges, and include at least three relevant client references. Equivalent alternatives may be proposed. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs, resellers, or prospective service providers are named in the opportunity.
