Cisco Independent School District is seeking fiber-based data transmission service for two entities at its Cisco K-12 campus in Cisco, Texas.
- **Government buyer:** Cisco Independent School District (Cisco ISD); no sub-agency or office is identified.
- **Requested service:** Standalone data transmission over leased fiber, transport only, with no ISP service. The request describes 2–4 fiber strands between sites and calls for service that can scale in bandwidth.
- **Quantity:** Service for 2 entities. No part numbers are provided.
- **Conflicting specifications:** The RFP states 1 Gbps minimum to 10 Gbps maximum and requests installation and configuration. The FCC Form 470 specifies 100 Gbps minimum and maximum and says installation and initial configuration are not required. These differences should be clarified.
- **Requirements:** Separate eligible and ineligible costs where applicable; comply with FCC/E-Rate requirements and Texas Education Agency Financial Accountability Guidelines. The service must meet the school’s needs and support bandwidth scalability.
- **OEMs and vendors:** No service provider or equipment manufacturer is named. “Optimum Fiber” appears in a procurement reference, not clearly as a vendor.
- **Performance period:** Not specified.
