Recommended Action

Government, LLC for Microsoft licensing services in an amount not to exceed $2,836,667.16 for
a three-year term ending Dec. 31, 2028.
Executive Summary
The city purchases Microsoft products under a Microsoft enterprise enrollment agreement
through CDW Government LLC (CDW-G), a licensed reseller. CDW-G provides the city with
discounted rates for software licensing, cybersecurity tools, and maintenance and support of
the city’s Microsoft inventory. This agreement ensures continued access to essential Microsoft
products and services for city staff and patrons, and the renewal will maintain the city’s
subscription to Microsoft 365 and other tools to keep technology current and secure.
The City Council is being asked to authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with
CDW Government LLC.
Under Carlsbad Municipal Code, Section 3.28.050 - Procurement of Goods, City Council
approval is required when the cost to the city for procurement of goods is more than $100,000
per agreement year.
Explanation & Analysis
Overview
Microsoft software is used by more than 1,400 city staff, volunteers and contractors
and is installed on more than 1,500 computers and servers in the city, including those used by
library patrons. The products currently in use in the city include desktop and server operating
systems, database systems, cloud infrastructure and the cloud-based office productivity tool
known as Microsoft 365.

This agreement supports the city’s cybersecurity efforts by providing regular updates, security
patches and compliance tools. Microsoft 365 includes advanced security features to protect
against the ongoing risk of a cyberattack to digital systems, which could significantly impact city
operations. These features improve threat detection, protect sensitive data and defend against
phishing and malware attacks to keep city systems secure and operational.
Staff achieved maximum value in this renewal by implementing a tiered system for seasonal
and front-line staff, ensuring that higher valued licenses are allocated efficiently. This approach
used past data and actual usage to help the city get better value and match its technology
resources to its operational needs.
This new agreement also incorporates the licensing changes approved by the City Council on
Dec. 3, 2024, that consolidated numerous security items into the Microsoft platform, helping
the city to continue to enhance its security footprint while conducting business more efficiently.
The existing Microsoft enterprise enrollment agreement, approved by the City Council on Dec.
13, 2022, expires on Dec. 31, 2025.
Cooperative purchasing agreement
CDW-G was selected as reseller based on its experience and capability to add value to the city.
Microsoft software licenses and services will be purchased through a cooperative purchasing
agreement, in compliance with Carlsbad Municipal Code, Chapter 3.28.100 - Cooperative
Purchasing.1 CDW Government LLC is an authorized Microsoft reseller and provides products
and technology services under the County of Riverside’s licensed support provider agreement
(No. ITARC – 00933), for Microsoft products and services. The prices for the licenses and
services in the proposed agreement are the same prices quoted from the County of Riverside’s
agreement.
Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.100, Cooperative Purchasing, gives the city’s Purchasing
Officer the authority to join with other public or quasi-public agencies in cooperative
purchasing plans or programs for the purchase of goods or services when determined by the
purchasing officer to be in the city’s best interest. The Purchasing Officer may buy directly from
a vendor at a price established by another public agency when the other agency has made its
purchase in a competitive manner.
CDW-G is an authorized reseller and provides products and technology services under the
County of Riverside’s Licensed Support Provider Agreement (No. ITARC – 00933), for Microsoft
Products and Services.2
The cost of this purchase was quoted from that contract. The Purchasing Officer’s memo
authorizing the use of the cooperative purchasing agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.
1 Cooperative purchasing is when a government agency uses an existing procurement contract from another
agency to create its own contract to purchase the same or similar items or services directly from the vendor.
Government agencies often use such cooperatives to reduce their procurement costs.
2 The County of Riverside’s licensed support provider agreement provides for Microsoft software and licensing
discounts through negotiations with Microsoft through contracts established with authorized participating re-
sellers. Cities can use this contract to buy directly from the supplier or reseller.

Fiscal Analysis
The three-year cost of the agreement with CDW-G is not to exceed $2,836,667.16, with an
annual payment of $945,555.72. Funding for the first year is in the approved fiscal year 2025-26
Information Technology Department’s Operating Budget. Future years, funding will be
requested during the appropriate fiscal year’s budget process.
During the term of this agreement, the city will have to annually account for any increased use
of Microsoft products beyond what is included in the proposed agreement.
Next Steps
With the City Council’s approval, the City Manager will execute the agreement with CDW-G.
Environmental Evaluation
The proposed action is not a “project” as defined by California Environmental Quality Act, or
CEQA, Section 21065 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a) and does not require
environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2) because the action is limited
to the purchase of the Microsoft software subscription renewal from CDW-G. The action has no
potential to cause either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably
foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Memorandum
November 18, 2025
To: Roxanne Muhlmeister, Assistant Finance Director/Purchasing Officer
From: Michael Pugliese, IT Operations Manager
Via: Maria Callander, IT Director
Re: Approve the cooperative use of the County of Riverside’s Cooperative Purchasing
Enterprise Agreement with CDW-G, LLC.
The IT Department would like to cooperatively use the County of Riverside’s Licensed Support
Provider Agreement (No. ITARC – 00933), for Microsoft Products and Services contract with
CDW-G, LLC to provide for the purchase of a three-year Microsoft Enterprise Agreement for
Microsoft licensing services ending December 31, 2028, in a not to exceed agreement amount
of $2,836,667.16.
This request is in the best interest of the City of Carlsbad as the city has standardized the use of
Microsoft products and CDW-G is a preferred vendor. Additionally, CDW-G has worked with the
city on other past projects that provide the company with a unique understanding of our
systems and goals.
CDW-G is a full-service vendor that provides for the procurement of software, hardware,
licenses, support, maintenance, and professional services for many of the IT Department’s
needs. Additionally, Microsoft offers preferred pricing to primary municipalities by state. For
California, the County of Riverside manages that agreement.
As per Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 3.28.100 – Cooperative purchasing, “The purchasing
officer shall have the authority to join with other public or quasi-public agencies in cooperative
purchasing plans or programs for the purchase of goods and/or services by contract,
arrangement or agreement as allowed by law and as determined by the purchasing officer to be
in the city’s best interest. The purchasing officer may buy directly from a vendor at a price
established by another public agency when the other agency has made their purchase in a
competitive manner.”
With Purchasing Officer support, staff will recommend the City Council adopt a resolution
authorizing the execution of an agreement with CDW-G for the purchase of products and
services for a not to exceed agreement amount of $2,836,667.16 at the December 9, 2025, City
Council Meeting.
