Purchase Order 15JPSS26P00000072

The U.S. Civil Division awarded a $360K firm fixed-price purchase order to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) on October 1, 2025, for the FY26 Civil Rights WMATA SmartBenefits Program. The contract, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026, will be performed in Washington, DC 20024. No set-aside designation was used in this award. WMATA, a regional transit authority serving the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, administers the SmartBenefits transit subsidy program, which provides transit passes and fare cards to eligible federal employees across the National Capital Region.

This purchase order represents one of numerous federal contract vehicles through which WMATA delivers transit benefits to civilian agencies. The SmartBenefits program is a core offering for the transit authority, enabling federal employees to receive transit subsidies for commuting within the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Maryland regions. WMATA maintains multiple indefinite delivery vehicles with federal agencies, including blanket purchase agreements with NASA's Goddard Space Center ($500K), the Defense Information Systems Agency ($5.8M), and the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service ($10M), all supporting similar transit benefits administration. This contract continues WMATA's established role as a key federal contractor for workforce mobility and transportation infrastructure support.
