Purchase Order DOLB062J10928

The U.S. government awarded a Metro Card Service purchase order to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) on August 4, 2006, with a ceiling value of $11.88K and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2006. This firm fixed-price contract, with no set-aside designation, supports transit services in Washington, DC and is representative of WMATA's broader role as a critical federal contractor administering transportation benefits across the National Capital Region. The contract aligns with WMATA's core competency in managing transit pass and fare card programs for federal employees through its SmartBenefits program, which is funded by various federal agencies including civilian departments and independent commissions.

WMATA, the second-largest rapid transit rail system operator and sixth-largest bus network provider in the United States, has established itself as a key contractor for federal workforce mobility initiatives. Beyond individual purchase orders like this Metro Card Service award, WMATA maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles with multiple federal agencies, including a $10 million blanket purchase agreement with the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service and a $5.8 million vehicle with the Defense Information Systems Agency for transit benefits at Fort Meade, Maryland. These contracts collectively support federal employee commuting needs and transportation infrastructure across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region, including portions of Virginia and Maryland.
