Dedicated Internet Access Service and Resilient Routing Path

The buyer seeks dedicated Internet access service in Vancouver, Washington, to deliver a reliable, scalable, and symmetrical enterprise connection. The solution must strengthen resiliency by providing an additional high-capacity path operationally independent from the district's primary K-20 Internet service. Required capabilities include supporting district-owned public IP address space, BGP routing, enterprise edge routing, robust service-level agreements, and optional 20 Gbps and 25 Gbps comparison pricing. Vendors must achieve a service-ready date no later than July 1, 2027. Eligibility is restricted to onshore United States organizations, and the work will be performed offsite. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 12, 2026, and digital proposals can be submitted via email or online. The district will evaluate responsive submissions for best overall value, weighting the cost of E-Rate eligible products and services as the primary individual factor. Proposals must include all required certifications, forms, technical and transition plans, and the pricing workbook.
