The proposed Modification No. 16 to Contract No. CFOPD-19-C-003 with Harris & Harris, Ltd. seeks to extend the contract for an additional six months, from May 21, 2025, to November 20, 2025, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2,164,865.00. This extension is essential for maintaining continuity in secondary collection services and the account receivables system for non-tax debts owed to the Government of the District of Columbia, as the Office of Finance and Treasury prepares for a competitive procurement process for a new contract. The contractor has shown satisfactory performance since the original award in May 2019, and the modification includes a subcontracting plan that allocates 35% of the contract value to a certified small business enterprise.

The bill also proposes an extension of the existing contract for delinquent debt collection services, allowing for two additional three-month periods, with total funding set at $2,164,865.00, contingent upon the approval of the FY2026 Appropriated Budget. The modification includes specific legal language that adjusts the contract terms, particularly regarding pricing for the extension periods, and incorporates the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision No. 32, dated December 23, 2024. The estimated revenue for the delinquent collection services is projected at $11,381,282.00, with a contingency fee of 9.25%, ensuring that the contract remains consistent with the financial plan and budget as outlined in D.C. Code 47-392.01 and 47-392.02.
