North Carolina’s Department of Information Technology is hunting for a firm to develop a communications and public outreach campaign to promote the federal program that offers discounted broadband service to low-income households.
About 600K NC households are eligible to participate in the Federal Communications Commission’s Affordable Connectivity Program because they are required to spend at least two percent of their monthly income on a $60 per-month subscription.
Less than a quarter (22.4 percent) of qualified households in the Tarheel State are enrolled in ACP.
NCDIT wants a communications partner to increase awareness of and enrollment in ACP, especially among qualified households with school-age children.
It plans to award a one-year contract with an option for two additional one-year terms.
Proposals are due July 28.
