WMATA Call Order Notice of Intent to Sole Source

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Sole Source a contract with Washington Metro Area Transit Authority (WMATA) for the Mass Transit Benefit Program - Smart Benefits Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). The notice, published on April 29, 2025, pertains to Contract Number HC104722A0001, which is a firm fixed price contract currently covering the period from June 8, 2022 to June 7, 2025. WMATA, classified as a large business with CAGE code 021F7, is the incumbent contractor for this transit benefits program. The agency has determined that WMATA is the only source capable of providing the necessary services, particularly for managing master database functions related to the transit benefits program. The contract supports the Mass Transit Subsidy Benefits program in the Washington DC metropolitan area, utilizing the SmartBenefits web-based platform.

Potential contractors have 15 days from the notice date to submit a written capability statement challenging WMATA's sole source status, though no reimbursement will be provided for such submissions. The procurement will use NAICS code 485111 (Mixed Mode Transit Systems) for determining company size, and no solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov due to the sole source nature of the requirement. The contract is specifically focused on transferring transit benefits from employers to employees through the SmartBenefits web-based program. Eligible contractors would need to demonstrate capabilities comparable to or exceeding WMATA's current service provision for the Mass Transit Subsidy Benefits program. The opportunity is targeted at contractors with expertise in transit benefit management, particularly those with experience in web-based platforms for managing employee transit subsidies in the Washington DC metropolitan area. While the current notice indicates a sole source intention, there is a brief window for alternative providers to present their capabilities.
