This solicitation is designated exclusively for District of Columbia Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) certified local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises — a restrictive set-aside that gates eligibility to certified entities.

The scope encompasses six wellness pillars: physical, mental/emotional, financial, social, nutritional, and occupational well-being. Deliverables include annual and ad hoc wellness events, health screenings (cholesterol, glucose, vision, hearing, pulmonary, and heart health), massage and bodywork services, nutrition and wellness food demonstrations, wellness seminars and workshops, virtual and in-person wellness fairs, interactive booths and games, and ongoing consulting and advisory support. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five years of experience, employ qualified and credentialed personnel, maintain all required licenses and insurance, and provide three customer references with satisfactory ratings.

The base contract term runs October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals extending through September 30, 2031. Pricing must be submitted on a firm-fixed-price basis for the base year and all four option years across over forty itemized service lines. Award will be made on a lowest-price basis, with CBE preference points up to 12 points maximum available for certifications including small business enterprise, resident-owned business, longtime resident business, local business enterprise, disadvantaged business enterprise, veteran-owned business enterprise, and equity impact enterprise status.

Contractors exceeding $250,000 in contract value must award at least 35 percent of total contract value to certified SBEs or CBEs. Contracts exceeding $300,000 are subject to First Source Employment requirements mandating 51 percent of hired personnel be District residents. Comprehensive insurance requirements include $1 million commercial general liability, $5 million umbrella liability, $1 million automobile liability, $1 million fidelity bonds, $5 million errors and omissions liability, and $1 million cyber liability ($3 million aggregate), with Events DC named as additional insured.
