Oklahoma State Regents For Higher Education

Oklahoma State Regents For Higher Education, operating as Onenet, is a U.S. state government entity and state-controlled institution of higher learning that provides internet connectivity, bandwidth, and cyberinfrastructure services to federal agencies and higher-education institutions as a prime contractor and grant recipient. Onenet competes in full-and-open federal procurements with no set-aside positioning, holding a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration and serving defense and civilian agencies through firm-fixed-price purchase orders for regional telecommunications infrastructure.

Onenet's federal contracting footprint centers on internet access circuits and bandwidth provisioning. The vendor delivers primary internet access point services to the FAA's Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City under a BPA ceiling of $294,060 running through July 2030, with the first call valued at $116,610 (August 2025). Onenet has supplied internet bandwidth services to the Department of the Army's Joint Munitions Command at McAlester, Oklahoma across multiple purchase orders, including a $28,576 award in January 2024 and a $14,520 award in January 2026. The Department of Defense's Southwest Region awarded Onenet a $152,466 purchase order for internet access circuits and bandwidth services in Lawton, Oklahoma (September 2023, extending through August 2028) and a $79,567 purchase order (February 2026, extending through January 2031).

Federal customer concentration reflects Onenet's regional role in Oklahoma telecommunications infrastructure. The FAA Headquarters accounts for 9 awards and $958,000 in combined potential value; the Army's Southwest Region holds 3 awards valued at $381,000; and the Joint Munitions Command accounts for 7 awards totaling $128,000. Sixteen awards from the Department of Education's Advisory Committee for Student Financial Assistance make it the largest customer by count, though that pool carries no stated dollar value and likely reflects advisory or administrative engagement rather than procurement contracts. Together, the top five customer agencies cover 73% of recent awards.

Onenet's grant recipient work focuses on research and education cyberinfrastructure expansion across Oklahoma's higher-education system. The vendor acts as prime recipient of five National Science Foundation Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) regional networking grants (CFDA 47.070) supporting connections to the OneOklahoma Friction Free Network (OFFN) ultra-high-speed regional science network, including CARE-MORE-OFFN (2022–2024), ESI-MORE-OFFN (2021–2024), SURF-MORE-OFFN (2023–2025), CORE-MORE-OFFN (2024–2026), and FUSE-MORE-OFFN (2025–2026). These grants connect under-resourced regional campuses and support STEM workforce development across engineering, computer science, biology, and related fields. Onenet also received an Oklahoma GEAR UP grant from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (2024–2026) and a single grant sub-award from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services related to higher-education prevention services (October 2022).

Activity has declined modestly in recent years—five awards in 2022 to two in 2026—with only three awards (combined potential value $15,000) reaching completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The vendor obligated $153.5 million across recent awards, reflecting substantial prior-year invoice activity that far exceeds current-year potential values and indicates long-standing contract renewal and rollover activity with core customers. Onenet's capability set—as grounded in its contract and grant work—encompasses regional high-speed network infrastructure provisioning, science DMZ implementation, data transfer node deployment, and network performance monitoring to support research computing at Oklahoma's higher-education institutions and federal operations centers.
