About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's Interior Business Center has awarded a sole-source contract to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for SmartBenefits transit subsidy program services supporting the U.S. Election Assistance Commission's employee commuting benefit, with contract 140D0426P0154 awarded on August 3, 2026.
The Interior Business Center is procuring on behalf of the EAC. WMATA is the sole entity managing the Metrorail and Metrobus SmarTrip card and payment system in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area; no other source can provide access to this transit system or manage multi-modal transportation funding through a single interface. The SmartBenefits Program is the only web-based system enabling employers to assign transit subsidy funds directly to employee SmarTrip cards, eliminating paper voucher distribution. Market research conducted May 4 through June 3, 2026, confirmed WMATA's sole-source status, and review of the System for Award Management database showed other federal agencies have similarly awarded transit subsidy services to WMATA on a noncompetitive basis. The authority cited is RFO 12.102(a). WMATA is located at H Street SW, Washington, District of Columbia. The contracting officer (Joelle Donovan) signed the determination on June 3, 2026, and the Program Manager/COR (Derek Banks) concurred on June 15, 2026.
