About this file
This document is Solicitation Amendment 1 for the North Dakota Information Technology Department (ITD) relating to a STAGEnet Internet Access procurement. The solicitation was issued on October 1, 2025, with proposals due by November 7, 2025, at 11:00 am CT. The amendment addresses vendor questions regarding internet connectivity specifications, clarifying that redundant internet connections are not mandatory at the state hand-off point, but offerors must describe any redundant network connections. The minimum connection requirement is 100G at each point of presence (POP), with vendors expected to demonstrate the ability to provide greater than 100G of cumulative bandwidth across multiple potential locations in different cities.
The solicitation allows vendors to propose connectivity solutions with flexibility in implementation, focusing on network capacity and redundancy options. Vendors must detail their proposed connectivity to the state's POP locations, with specific attention to bandwidth capabilities and potential redundant connection strategies. The procurement is being managed by Procurement Officer Brandy Bentley, with contact information provided for potential follow-up questions. The amendment does not mandate specific redundancy configurations but requires detailed explanations of proposed network architectures and connection capabilities.
