Report Title: Participating Addendum with Carahsoft Technology Corporation
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the Chief Information Officer, a Participating Addendum with Carahsoft Technology Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $2,500,000, for the purchase of Cloud Solutions Technology Products for use by the Department of Information Technology, for the period of May 13, 2025 through September 15, 2026, under the terms of the Master Contract awarded by NASPO and the State of Utah.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Product and service costs paid by County Departments (100% User Departments)
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Purchasing Services is requesting approval of a Participating Addendum for the purchase of Cloud Solutions Technology Products offered through Carahsoft Technology Corporation. Products are guaranteed through the master contract awarded by NASPO ValuePoint and the State of Utah. Approval of the Participating Addendum between Contra Costa County and Carahsoft Technology Corporation, allows the County to obtain guaranteed pricing available through the NASPO ValuePoint and the State of Utah. The purchase will support the Department of Information Technology with Cloud Solutions required by the Department and save 5 to 25% off list prices. This will allow the Department of Information Technology to purchase Cloud Solution products for much less than they would without this benefit.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without approval of this agreement, the Department of Information Technology would be paying full price on Cloud Solution Technology Product purchases they make today.
