MDPLS MICROSOFT

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering ratifying an emergency contract for Microsoft licenses for the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS). The contract, number E-10663, is with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for $1,700,000 for a three-year term. An emergency was declared due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which created complexities and delays in procurement. The county explored direct agreements with Microsoft and other options but was unsuccessful, leading to the emergency contract to ensure continuity of services, cybersecurity, and data protection. The contract expires January 14, 2029. The User Access Program applies, but Small Business Enterprise measures and Local Preference do not.
