Contract No. CW126113 with Science Applications International Corporation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill is an emergency resolution to approve a $40 million multi-year contract with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) for IT infrastructure equipment. It directly affects the District of Columbia government, authorizing the purchase of technology equipment to support its information and communications systems. The contract covers two years with three one-year renewal options, allowing the District to secure equipment faster and at better pricing. The resolution bypasses standard review processes due to claimed "emergency circumstances" for timely delivery.

What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was converted from a draft resolution to an enrolled version after Council approval. The primary substantive change is the conversion of the funding amount from '$40,000,000.00' to '$40 million' in the text, which represents a formatting simplification rather than a policy change. The emergency declaration language was slightly modified to clarify that the resolution is being adopted 'on an emergency basis' rather than 'after a single reading'.

TECHNICAL

The funding amount notation was simplified from '$40,000,000.00' to '$40 million' in Section 2(b), which is a formatting change with no impact on the actual funding amount.

The enrolled version includes the official bill number '26-150' and date 'July 1, 2025', which were not present in the draft introduction.

TIMELINE

Section 3 was updated to state the resolution is being adopted 'on an emergency basis' instead of 'after a single reading', clarifying the procedural mechanism for emergency adoption.
