The County of Riverside has negotiated a competitive agreement with Microsoft and made it available to all government entities in the state of California. As of 2022, over 900 government agencies were leveraging the Riverside contract. Sheriff IT prefers to maintain continuity with County IT and pursue renewals through the Riverside contract.

 

Advantages of the Riverside contract include:

 

                     Pre-negotiated competitive contract

                     Access to the full catalog of Microsoft products

                     Stable pricing for 3 years

 

The Sheriff’s Office - Information Technology team is requesting approval to procure M365 services and licensing through the Riverside competitive contract. This allows Mendocino County Sheriff to maintain preferred licensing currently in use.
