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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering ratifying an emergency contract (E-10663) with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for Microsoft licenses and subscription services for the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS). The contract is for $1,700,000 over a three-year term, expiring January 14, 2029. An emergency was declared on January 15, 2026, due to Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, which created complexities and delays in securing necessary licenses. Peer institutions nationwide reported similar challenges. The contract is funded through the Library District FY 25-26 Adopted Budget. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to exercise all contract provisions. The two percent User Access Program applies, but Small Business Enterprise measures, Local Preference, and Living Wage Ordinance do not.
