UNION PARISH SCHOOL DISTRICT WAN AND INTERNET RFP SY27

The Union Parish School District (Louisiana) is seeking proposals to provide a wide‑area network (WAN) and Internet access service for five eligible school entities. The district currently operates a point‑to‑point fiber WAN delivering a shared 5 Gbps Internet connection, and it intends to replace this with a leased lit‑fiber solution that will support the same or greater capacity, with enhanced reliability and managed services. The contract will cover design, provisioning, installation, and ongoing management of the network, including any required equipment, service level agreements, and support for future scalability. • Provide leased lit‑fiber connectivity for five school sites, terminating at the district’s central office. • Deliver at least 5 Gbps shared Internet bandwidth (or higher) with managed service options. • Include design, installation, and ongoing network management/maintenance for the contract term. • Submit sealed proposals by December 10, 2026, 2 PM CST; proposals may be mailed, delivered, or uploaded. • All proposals must be addressed to the District Technology Supervisor, Mike Tynes.
