MDPLS MICROSOFT

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners are considering ratifying an emergency contract, File Number 261152, for Microsoft licenses for the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS). The contract, valued at $1,700,000 for a three-year term, is with Insight Public Sector, Inc. The emergency was declared due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which impacted MDPLS's eligibility for discounted pricing and created procurement challenges. The county attempted to negotiate a direct agreement with Microsoft but was unsuccessful. The contract aims to ensure continuity of technology services, public access, and cybersecurity for MDPLS. The item is on the Consent Agenda for July 21, 2026.
