- Description
- The Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting�Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA). A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated�and, upon approval, a copy of it will be posted here on SAM.gov to comply with the public�display requirements of FAR 6.305.�The proposed contract action is for the Defense Information System Agency (DISA), Workforce�Services Directorate (WSD) SmartBenefits Program services. The requirement provides�government employees with access to the SmartBenefits mass transit program. The government�further requires electronic auto load and reloadable capabilities for DISA to assign monetary value to Smart Trip cards, specifically for those employees authorized to participate in the�SmartBenefits mass transit program within the National Capital Region. The anticipated time�frame is January 12, 2022. There is no place of performance, due to electronic communication�that does not require a physical location. In regards to required capabilities, the Government has a need to offer DISA employees� access�to the WMATA SmartBenefits program services for commuting and transfers between Metrobus�and Metrorail. Specifically, coverage throughout the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Northern�Virginia region. SmartBenefits Program unique components include the SmartTrip plastic cards. The SmartTrip cards are electronically reloadable, can be registered online, and have�transferrable benefits. Participants are able to use their SmartBenefits to take advantage of�commuting benefits, such as transfers between car-pooling, metrobus and metrorail services. In�addition to the above, the Government requires sources to:� 1. Provide advice and coordination for the development of various mass transit options such�as vanpools, commuter rail, and commuter buses. 2. Provide online access/portal to establish, modify, or otherwise confirm the record and/or�status of a mass transit benefit participant in the WMATA SmartBenefits� program for�the civilian members of DISA. 3. Ensure benefits for existing participants are transferred automatically, on a monthly basis,�and are made available for first time participants at the start of each following month. 4. Provide online access to each point of contact in a timely manner. At this time, the incumbent contractor Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is�the only source capable of providing all necessary services.�
