Summary

The Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, in conjunction with the Illinois Century Network (ICN), is seeking bids for fiber-based last mile and WAN circuits to connect eligible K-12 schools and libraries under the federal E-rate Program. The contract will establish a 7-year initial term with 3 optional renewals, enabling DoIT/ICN to act as a consortium applicant for discounted network services. Vendors must provide competitive pricing and meet federal E-rate compliance requirements to support broadband expansion for education.
