Purchase Order 15JPSS26P00000068

The U.S. Department of Justice's Justice Management Division awarded a $180,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) on October 1, 2024, for the FY26 Transit Subsidy Program, with completion targeted for September 30, 2026. This contract, which includes no set-aside designation, will be performed in Washington, DC and represents WMATA's continued role as the primary transit benefits administrator for federal employees in the National Capital Region. The award supports the SmartBenefits program, which provides transit passes and fare cards to eligible federal employees, reducing commuting costs and supporting workforce mobility across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

This purchase order aligns with the Justice Management Division's broader human resources and employee benefits initiatives and reflects WMATA's established track record as a critical transit services provider to multiple federal agencies. WMATA operates the second-largest rapid transit rail system and sixth-largest bus network in the United States and maintains multiple indefinite delivery vehicles and blanket purchase agreements with federal agencies, including NASA, the Department of Treasury, and the Defense Information Systems Agency, with contract values ranging from several thousand dollars to over $7 million. The SmartBenefits program administered through these contracts enhances employee commuting options and supports sustainable transportation goals across the federal workforce.
