Harris County seeks to add $5.1M to its Microsoft services contract with SHI Government Solutions through March 31, 2027.
Harris County Commissioners Court introduced a contract amendment on August 7, 2026, asking the County Judge to approve up to $5,147,403 in additional spending with SHI Government Solutions, Inc. for Microsoft products and services. The agreement runs from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 and is made through a State of Texas cooperative contract. No MWBE participation goal applies because it is a cooperative agreement.
Harris County wants to spend over $5 million more on Microsoft software and services. This money comes from county funds, which are supported by local taxes paid by Harris County residents.
