Finance Governance - 9/23/2025 - Agenda Item D2 - Insight

The City of Oxnard's Finance and Governance Committee recommended that the city council approve an extension of blanket agreement number 32400174 with Insight Public Sector, Inc. for the purchase of computer networking technology through April 30, 2028. The funding amount will be increased by $1.4 million, bringing the total not-to-exceed amount to approximately $4.035 million. This extension supports the city's strategy to maintain a modern, secure, and scalable network infrastructure, mitigating cyber risks associated with outdated equipment. The city's IT department has been leveraging Insight as a technology value-added reseller under competitive public purchase agreements, with annual purchases averaging around $618,000 over the past four fiscal years. The increased investment aligns with the implementation of a modern ERP system and falls within existing budget limits, requiring no new appropriations.
