Virginia signs BEAD agreements with 19 of its 22 selected subgrantees

Virginia signed agreements with 19 of its 22 BEAD winners by early August, with NTIA's Arielle Roth touring projects with Rep. Morgan Griffith the same week her agency approved the last state plans.

What this means for BEAD compliance

The 19 Virginia BEAD subgrantees with executed agreements, plus the 3 remaining selected subgrantees still awaiting signature and NTIA/Virginia broadband office overseeing compliance.

Execution of subgrant agreements triggers the four-year deployment clock and activates the full suite of active_deployment obligations for the 19 signed providers, including speed, latency, outage, and buildout milestones, low-cost plan offerings, SCRM/cybersecurity certifications, Buy America compliance, and financial and procurement reporting. Providers must have NIST CSF 2.0 risk management and supply chain risk plans in place and begin recurring topline and expenditure data submissions to Virginia's broadband office. The 3 unsigned subgrantees remain in pre_award status and must still complete special award condition meetings, SCRM certification, and documentation readiness before their own obligations activate.
