Harris County seeks approval of a $14,065 sole source contract with Versaterm Public Safety Inc. for Sheriff's Office software license support through June 2027
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced a contract amendment on July 23, 2026, to approve a sole source exemption from competitive bidding. The agreement with Versaterm Public Safety Inc. covers BlueTeam NextGen and IAPro NextGen license support services for the Sheriff's Office through June 30, 2027, with four one-year renewal options, at a cost of $14,065. No MWBE participation goal applies due to the sole source exemption.
Harris County is paying $14,065 to one company without a competitive bid for software the Sheriff's Office already uses. Sole source contracts skip the usual process where multiple vendors compete for county business.
