NOVA Aggregation Facility 30 GBPS Commodity Inter and 2 more items

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) has awarded a contract to Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University under award number A236_P0359518, effective October 6, 2026. The cumulative contract value totals $46,597. The contract encompasses three primary line items delivering network infrastructure and connectivity services to VCU Procurement. These services include a facility component valued at $18,000, a NOVA Aggregation Facility 30 gigabits per second (GBPS) commodity interconnection service valued at $22,320, and a cross-connect service at Equinix facilities valued at $6,277.

The contract deliverables represent telecommunications and data center connectivity solutions essential for network operations. All deliverables are designated for delivery to VCU Procurement in Virginia. The award replaces a prior procurement action (P0304612), indicating this represents a continuation or renewal of existing network services. The specific technical configuration—including the NOVA aggregation facility and Equinix cross-connect components—suggests the contract supports redundant, high-capacity data transmission capabilities required for institutional network infrastructure.
