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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-588-26 (File Number 261152) on July 21, 2026, ratifying Emergency Contract No. E-10663 for MDPLS Microsoft Licenses to Insight Public Sector, Inc. in the amount of $1,700,000.00 for a three-year term for the Communications, Information and Technology Department on behalf of the Miami-Dade Public Library System. The contract expires on January 14, 2029. The emergency was declared by the CITD Director on January 15, 2026. The contract is countywide in scope. Funding source is the Library District FY 25-26 Adopted Budget, Volume 2, Page 207, Other Operating (MDPLS). The vendor is Insight Public Sector, Inc., located at 2701 E Insight Way, Chandler, AZ, with 0% Miami-Dade employee residents. The prior contract was OMNIA Cooperative Contract No. 23-6692, which expired on January 31, 2026. The reason for the emergency was Microsoft's transition from its Educational Licensing Program to its Nonprofit Licensing Program, effective October 31, 2025, with a required transition by January 31, 2026. A competitive solicitation, EVN0027540, was advertised on September 19, 2025, but was cancelled after Microsoft advised that proceeding through a CSP would jeopardize eligibility for nonprofit discounted pricing. Options to engage Microsoft through a direct agreement were explored but were not successful. The CITD Director recommended a three-year contract with the incumbent reseller based on Microsoft's mandatory three-year Products and Services Agreement (MPSA) structure. The two percent User Access Program applies. The Small Business Enterprise measures and Local Preference do not apply. The Living Wage Ordinance does not apply. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
