3 Multi-Year Public Facing Regional Websites

The City of Houston's Mayor’s Office of Homeland Security and Public Safety is seeking a qualified firm to design, develop, and deploy three public-facing regional websites, each dedicated to a specific program within the city's emergency management and homeland security initiatives. These websites must include a secure backend system capable of managing inquiries, disseminating public information, supporting search engine exclusion to prevent unwanted indexing, and facilitating emergency communication across three focus areas supported by DHS grants. The contract is set for an initial three-year period starting in October 2026, with the possibility of two additional one-year renewal options, extending the total potential duration to five years. The project scope emphasizes website hosting, security, and functionality tailored to public safety and emergency response needs. The solicitation, posted by the City of Houston under the NAICS code 541511, indicates a contract value ranging from $500,000 to $1,500,000. Interested firms are encouraged to respond by November 12, 2025, with Ronald LaBorde serving as the primary contact. The contract aims to establish a robust digital platform to enhance public safety communications and information dissemination, supporting the city's ongoing homeland security efforts.
