Oregon executes BEAD contracts with 13 providers, co-ops and local governments
As of September 10, 2026, the Oregon Broadband Office confirmed it was under contract with 13 providers, cooperatives and local governments, including Alyrica, Douglas Fast Net, Consumers Power, Pioneer Connect, Windwave and Ziply Fiber, plus the City of Sherwood, Columbia County, Gilliam County and Hood River Electric & Internet Co-Op. Oregon set September 18 as the deadline for all BEAD subgrantee contracts to be signed, with most projects expected to begin construction in late 2026.
Providers named: Alyrica, Douglas Fast Net, Consumers Power, Pioneer Connect, Windwave, Ziply Fiber
What this means for BEAD compliance
The 13 executed BEAD subgrantees in Oregon, including Alyrica, Douglas Fast Net, Consumers Power, Pioneer Connect, Windwave, Ziply Fiber, and named local government/co-op subgrantees, plus remaining Oregon applicants still finalizing contracts before the September 18 deadline.
Execution of each contract starts the active_deployment obligation clock: performance bonds/insurance, cybersecurity and SCRM plans, non-federal match documentation, and the four-year project completion deadline all become binding immediately. Subgrantees must now maintain semi-annual reporting, adequate progress on Appendix 2 milestones, and financial/procurement controls (competition, cost analysis, contractor oversight) for disbursement eligibility. Any subgrantee failing to sign by September 18 risks losing its award, which would trigger a reallocation process for other providers. Compliance officers should confirm bonding, insurance, and cybersecurity plans are finalized before construction begins in late 2026.
Deadline September 18, 2026: All Oregon BEAD subgrantees must execute signed subgrantee contracts with the Oregon Broadband Office by September 18, 2026 to retain their awards.
