The University of Virginia has awarded contract A207_PO-0227878-V5 to Pantheon Systems Inc, effective August 4, 2026, with a cumulative value of $215,940.25. The contract encompasses the migration and hosting of web infrastructure for the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia, encompassing approximately 95 or more central, departmental, and program websites. The current system utilizes a multisite Drupal configuration in which multiple individual databases connect to a shared open-source code base; however, this architecture has become increasingly difficult to manage, with critical system updates frequently failing and requiring extensive troubleshooting support from the incumbent vendor, Acquia, and external consultants.

Pantheon Systems Inc will provide hosting platform services on the Drupal content management system to address the operational and structural deficiencies inherent in the University's existing multisite installation. The contract comprises two line items totaling $215,940.25—the first valued at $170,180.65 and the second at $45,759.60—with deliverables directed to specified University contacts. The engagement is intended to resolve persistent update failures, enhance system security and operational reliability, and restore institutional capacity for new website development and technical problem resolution that has been constrained by the demands of managing failed updates under the current platform configuration.
