Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $1.4 million contract amendment with Outreach Strategists, LLC for advertising services from December 2025 to December 2026. This contract helps the county communicate important information to our community through various advertising channels. When Harris County needs to share updates about public health, emergency preparedness, voter registration, census participation, or new services, they use professional advertising to reach all residents effectively. This matters because clear communication helps us stay informed about county programs that affect our daily lives - from health clinics and social services to road construction and voting locations. The advertising helps ensure that information reaches diverse communities across Harris County's 1,700+ square miles, including neighborhoods where residents speak different languages or get news from different sources. The contract was marked as requiring specialized services, which is why it didn't include the county's usual minority and women-owned business participation goals. Residents can stay informed about how their tax dollars support these communication efforts by attending Commissioners Court meetings or contacting the Purchasing Agent's office. If you want to learn about future county contracts or participate in the public bidding process as a vendor, contact Mary.Cesar@harriscountytx.gov or visit Harris County's purchasing website for upcoming opportunities.
Harris County needs to communicate important information about health services, voting, emergencies, and programs to all residents across our large, diverse community. Good communication helps everyone access county services and stay safe.
