RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, or designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, a blanket purchase order amendment with Amazon.com Services, LLC., to increase the payment limit by $1,000,000 to a new payment limit of $3,700,000, with no change to the term, for continued access to the online marketplace under terms of a master contract awarded by Prince William County Public Schools, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This purchase order will increase the spending limit by $1,000,000 for the remainder of the effective term. Product costs are paid by County Departments. (100% User Departments)

BACKGROUND:

Contra Costa Purchasing Services is requesting to add funds to an existing blanket purchase order (No. 022755) with Amazon.com Services, LLC, which is used by all County Departments to access Amazon’s online marketplace. The supplies are guaranteed through a master contract awarded by Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS), through the OMNIA Cooperative Program. On June 22, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved a blanket purchase order (BPO) between the County and Amazon.com Services, LLC. Approving this request to increase the payment limit on the existing BPO will allow the County to continue to obtain guaranteed pricing through the term of the Omnia Partner agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without approval of additional funds, County Departments will not have access to Amazon Prime Online Marketplace, which is a resource to all County Departments for miscellaneous products with expedited delivery.
