Background and Discussion:
The Sheriff’s Office, Constables Precincts 1-8, Fire Marshal’s Office, the Office of Budget and Management and the Office of the Purchasing Agent have collaborated on a countywide initiative to enhance public-safety technology capabilities. A Master Services Agreement (MSA) has been developed to establish the framework under which the participating law enforcement agencies may procure Axon provided equipment and services including taser devices, cartridges, and other law enforcement equipment through the Texas BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing Program.
Expected Impact:
Approval of this MSA will enable the law enforcement agencies to purchase Axon hardware, accessories, warranties, and related support services in a standardized and competitively procured manner. Utilizing the Texas BuyBoard Cooperative Purchasing Program reduces administrative burden, shortens procurement timelines and ensures pricing advantages obtained through the cooperative purchasing program.
