This contract concerns a district‑wide network‑infrastructure upgrade for the Rock Hill School District, funded under the Federal E‑Rate program.

The award emphasizes compliance with state drug‑free workplace statutes, insurance requirements, background‑check protocols, and “made‑in‑South‑Carolina/US” preferences where applicable. • Scope includes full design, installation, and commissioning of upgraded network hardware (switches, routers, cabling, wireless APs, etc.). • Contractor must provide operation & maintenance manuals, warranties, training, and post‑implementation support. • Contract is competitive, firm‑price, and subject to a 60‑day price‑firmness period; the work cannot commence until a formal Purchase Order is issued.
