About this opportunity
The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) issued a sole source justification (FAR 13.5) for awarding contract HC104726A0001 to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for the SmartBenefits Program, a transit benefits subsidy initiative serving federal employees in the National Capital Region. WMATA will provide exclusive management of the SmartBenefits web-based platform, which facilitates the transfer of transit benefits to approximately 400 active federal employee participants through a master database system that no other transit authority can replicate. The sole source justification was based on WMATA's unique capability as the only organization capable of performing the requisite master database functions and managing the SmartBenefits program, the sole transit benefit transfer system available for the National Capital Region, with no viable competitive alternatives. The contract, awarded on December 23, 2025, covers a one-year base period with two one-year option periods and includes a ceiling amount designed to accommodate potential fluctuations in participant numbers and inflation rates, though the specific award value was not disclosed in the justification. This procurement strategy eliminates previously incurred third-party costs that had been managed through the Department of Transportation, positioning WMATA as the congressionally authorized, non-profit transit authority uniquely positioned to deliver these services across multiple jurisdictions in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area.
