Harris County joins a purchasing cooperative to use competitively bid contracts from North Central Texas COG at no cost.
Harris County Commissioners Court passed this interlocal agreement on May 28, 2026. It allows Harris County to use purchasing contracts already set up by the North Central Texas Council of Governments and its affiliates. These contracts were competitively bid, which helps the county save time and money. The agreement runs from May 28, 2026 to May 27, 2027, renews automatically each year, and costs the county nothing.
Harris County joining this purchasing program affects how the county buys goods and services. Residents may care because it changes the process county agencies use to spend public money on contracts.
