E-rate FY26 HCSD Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS)

The Harris County School District is requesting proposals from qualified vendors tor E-rate Category 2 Managed Internal Broadband Services (MIBS) for existing district-owned equipment. The District understands that eligible Basic Maintenance of Internal Connections (BMIC) items are also sometimes necessary to provision a Managed Internal Broadband service and expects bidders to propose those, if necessary. The District is open to all proposals from vendors that meet the District's needs and qualifications based on the information outlined in the Request for Proposal (RFP).

Bidders will be given the opportunity to survey District facilities. Attendance at this site survey is NOT REQUIRED in order to place a bid, but no consideration will be given for the vendor's lack of information, and the site survey is designed to make sure that all potential bidders are creating designs based on the same survey. The survey will be held on January 8, 2026 at 9:30 Eastern. Bidders are to report to the Harris County School District Technology Office located at 757 Carver Circle, Hamilton, Georgia 31811.
