DESCRIPTION

The government authority in Colorado is seeking vendors to provide an enterprise telecommunications transport and internet access sourcing strategy service. The scope includes evaluating the feasibility of replacing address-specific line items with flat-rate bandwidth tiers or regional geographic zones, aiming to achieve objective, comparable cost structures across a complex telecommunications environment.

The selected vendor will be tasked with optimizing the structure of future solicitations to minimize administrative barriers, reduce vendor frustration, and enable efficient, high-quality proposal submissions from suppliers. Furthermore, the project involves designing a commercial framework based on total cost of ownership (TCO) principles that manages future expenditure variability and appropriately balances both business and performance risks.

Interested parties must submit any questions regarding this RFI by June 12, 2026.
