(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
The contractor will continue to provide and administer the fully insured health benefits program to
District employees and their dependents. United will provide the following plan types: Preferred
Provider Organization, Health Maintenance Organization, and Medicare Advantage.
(D) The date on which a competitive procurement for these goods or services was last conducted,
the date of the resulting award, and a detailed explanation of why a competitive procurement
is not feasible:
Solicitation Doc450677 was issued as a request for proposals (RFP) on the open market on July 1,
2019. The closing date was August 2, 2019. An award was made to United on November 7, 2019.
The Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) issued a new solicitation, Doc723054, on June
6, 2024. However, none of the offerors submitted a compliant subcontracting plan, and therefore,
they were all deemed nonresponsive in accordance with District law. Given the urgency of the
requirement, completing another competitive process before services are needed is not feasible.
2
 OCP is extending the current contract with United and intends to issue a new competitive
solicitation in 2025.
(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the
protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the protestor, or
voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the protestor, the grounds
alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the District as a result of the protest:
One protest concerning the original multi-award RFP was filed before the Contract Appeals Board
(CAB), protest no. P-1113. The protestor, Aetna Life Insurance Company and Aetna Health, Inc.,
argued first that CareFirst’s proposal was not responsive to the solicitation requirements for
infertility coverage and second that CareFirst failed to submit a valid subcontracting plan. The CAB
denied their first claim and dismissed their second.
(F) A description of any other contracts the proposed contractor is currently seeking or holds
with the District:
None.
(G) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,
financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current government or private
sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:
The proposed contractor has provided the District with health benefits for over ten years under the
current and prior contracts and has demonstrated through their technical approach and past
performance reports that they have the organization, financial stability, personnel, and performance
history required to successfully meet the requirements of the proposed contract.
(H) A summary of the subcontracting plan required under section 2346 of the Small, Local, and
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005, as amended,
D.C. Official Code § 2-218.01 et seq. (“Act”), including a certification that the subcontracting
plan meets the minimum requirements of the Act and the dollar volume of the portion of the
contract to be subcontracted, expressed both in total dollars and as a percentage of the total
contract amount:
The Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD) approved an adjustment to
the CBE subcontracting requirements since the District’s healthcare benefits contributions are
shared by District and employees. The District funds 75% of the contract, and employees fund the
remaining 25%. At OCP’s request DCHR’s actuary confirmed that 96% of the contract amount
goes to direct payments for employee medical claims and that these are straight pass-through
payments that cannot be subcontracted. The remaining 4% of the contract amount covers
administrative costs such as operational expenses, overhead, retention costs, and marketing, some
of which are eligible for subcontracting to CBEs. Utilizing that 4%, DCHR’s estimated enrollment
for United for the 2024 benefit year, and the premium rates for the year, DSLBD and OCP agree
that the percentage of the extension period amount to be subcontracted should be 1.4%, which
3
 equates to $1,403,127.27 for the extension period. The contractor has submitted a compliant
subcontracting plan.
(I) Performance standards and the expected outcome of the proposed contract:
The proposed contractor will adhere to specific performance requirements in the contract related to
implementation, enrollment assistance, claims administration, financial accuracy, customer service
response, reporting, employee wellness, and network management and will be required to
administer claims completely and accurately regarding managing employee care, diseases, and
wellness.
(J) The amount and date of any expenditure of funds by the District pursuant to the contract
prior to its submission to the Council for approval:
None.
(K) A certification that the proposed contract is within the appropriated budget authority for the
agency for the fiscal year and is consistent with the financial plan and budget adopted in
accordance with D.C. Official Code §§ 47-392.01 and 47-392.02:
The Office of the Chief Financial Officer has certified by funding certification dated October 7,
2024, that the proposed contract is within the appropriated budget authority for the fiscal year.
(L) A certification that the contract is legally sufficient, including whether the proposed
contractor has any pending legal claims against the District:
The Office of the Attorney General has certified that the contract is legally sufficient and that the
proposed contractor does not have any pending legal claims against the District.
(M) A certification that the Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that the proposed contractor
is current with its District taxes. If the Citywide Clean Hands Database indicates that the
proposed contractor is not current with its District taxes, either: (1) a certification that the
contractor has worked out and is current with a payment schedule approved by the District;
or (2) a certification that the contractor will be current with its District taxes after the District
recovers any outstanding debt as provided under D.C. Official Code § 2-353.01(b):
The proposed contractor’s Citywide Clean Hands report issued on September 16, 2024, indicates no
outstanding liabilities with the District.

worked out and is current with a payment schedule approved by the federal government:

proposed contractor has certified on their Bidder-Offeror Certification Form, dated September 4,

(P) The status of the proposed contractor as a certified local, small, or disadvantaged business
