The State of Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) is seeking qualified vendors to provide
network and technical support services on a statewide basis to local schools and school districts.
MDE believes these services are an important part of fulfilling the State Board of Education’s
responsibility to support school districts in their mission to educate children. As published in the
Mississippi State Board of Education Policy Manual under Section 102 Responsibilities of the
Mississippi Board of Education, “The Board also regulates all matters arising in the practical
administration of the school system not otherwise provided for.”
Mississippi school districts are required to use several software applications implemented by
MDE; therefore, MDE desires a mechanism to assist school districts in maintaining stable
technology infrastructure.
