MDPLS MICROSOFT

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering ratifying an emergency contract (E-10663) for MDPLS Microsoft Licenses with Insight Public Sector, Inc. The contract is for $1,700,000.00 for a three-year term, effective January 15, 2026, to January 14, 2029. The emergency was declared due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which impacted Miami-Dade Public Library System's (MDPLS) ability to secure necessary licenses and maintain continuity of services. Multiple attempts to negotiate a direct agreement with Microsoft or utilize cooperative contracts failed due to evolving requirements and Microsoft's refusal to accept certain terms. The contract will be managed by the Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD) on behalf of MDPLS. The User Access Program applies, but SBE and Local Preference measures do not.
