This stacked bid document pertains to the State of Nebraska's Department of Administrative Services State Purchasing Bureau's procurement for High-Speed Transport Services for Network Nebraska, a statewide telecommunications initiative serving 294 educational entities. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to design, develop, and implement leased lit fiber circuits with Ethernet-based, layer-2 high-speed data connectivity linking eligible institutions to seven core aggregation points located in Omaha, Lincoln, Norfolk, and other cities. Vendors must provide bandwidth options ranging from 100 Mbps to 100,000 Mbps and deliver services including circuit installation, maintenance, and service level guarantees. The procurement was released on December 18, 2025, with an electronic bid submission deadline of January 23, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The initial contract term is four years, commencing July 1, 2026, with four optional one-year renewal periods available. All new circuits must be operational by the first Friday in August of each service year, and participating entities include K-12 school districts, educational service units, public and private colleges, universities, public libraries, and municipalities across 25 identified locations.

Vendors must bundle all costs—including equipment, hardware, installation, cross-connects, and maintenance—into circuit costs without additional charges and comply with FCC E-Rate requirements, possessing a Service Provider Form 498 I.D. (SPIN). Service level commitments require 99.99% uptime, maximum 15-millisecond latency, and 24-hour trouble response capabilities. The contract allows for awards to one or multiple vendors, with total 48-month costs calculated through a specific pricing methodology incorporating monthly recurring charges, non-recurring charges, and applicable taxes. The State reserves the right to conduct annual technology refresh reviews and may impose liquidated damages for E-Rate eligibility failures. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly stated and award values are not disclosed, the comprehensive cost sheet and diverse range of participating educational institutions suggest significant potential contract value across the bandwidth requirements specified.
