Wayne State University issued a three‑year strategic source agreement to supply Aruba‑branded network hardware and software, with optional one‑year extensions.

The contract is valued at over $5 million across a five‑year horizon, and the winning vendor must meet extensive insurance, wage‑rate, smoke‑free, and M/W/DBE compliance obligations.
• Scope includes Aruba access points, switches, controllers, power accessories, cabling, and software licences (ClearPass, Mobility Master, Central).
