Broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) Services (replaced)

The Wisconsin Broadband Internet Service Provider (ISP) Services contract provides comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure solutions for state agencies, University of Wisconsin campuses, and authorized public entities. The multi-award vehicle offers four distinct service categories: Community Services for Authorized Users and State Agencies, Data Center Locations, and High Availability Broadband for critical 24/7 operations. Designed to support public sector technology needs, the contract enables entities to procure business-class broadband internet services outside the State BadgerNet Converged Network, with flexible service options across multiple vendor platforms.

The contract was originally awarded in April 2019 by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, with seven prime contractors: AT&T Corp., Lumen (CenturyLink), Brightspeed, Hughes Network Systems, Airstream, WiscNet, and Granite Telecommunications. The current contract, identified as 505ENT-O19-BROADISP-04, covers statewide Wisconsin geography and has been extended multiple times, with the current term running through June 30, 2025. Classified under NIGP Code 95114 for Infrastructure and Telecommunications, the contract allows cooperative purchasing and provides standardized pricing and service terms for government entities, with contract amendments maintaining consistent rates and service conditions throughout its performance period.
