About this opportunity
The National Institutes of Health, through its Office of Research Services, has awarded a change order to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority for continued participation in the SmartBenefits Program on a sole-source basis under FAR 6.302-2 (unusual and compelling urgency). The two-month change order (September 2026–October 2026) is valued at $760,000 ($380,000 per month), with an estimated total contract value of $3.04 million.
The SmartBenefits Program is a web-based platform that electronically assigns transportation subsidies directly to employee SmarTrip cards for use on participating public transportation systems throughout the National Capital Region. The NIH Transhare Program provides monthly transportation subsidies to eligible employees who commute via mass transit and was established to satisfy Executive Order 13150 and commitments under a Memorandum of Understanding with the National Capital Planning Commission. Market research confirmed that WMATA remains the only source capable of providing SmartBenefits and SmarTrip services and meeting the specific operational and regulatory requirements. The justification identifies unusual and compelling urgency as the basis for non-competitive procurement, citing the need to continue supporting the existing transportation benefit program without service lapse. Place of performance is WMATA's location at 600 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC. The award is under IDIQ contract 75N98021D00004, with the redacted justification to be posted within 30 days of change order execution.
