The proposed bill seeks to approve Contract No. GAGA-2025-C-0133 with MVS, Inc. for a total of $1,465,141.70, aimed at providing $250 Amazon Supply Cards to teachers in the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) as part of the Washington Teachers Union Teacher Supply Card program. The contract will be effective from June 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, following a competitive bidding process that resulted in a single bid from MVS, Inc., which was accepted based on its pricing and past performance. The bill ensures that the contract aligns with the appropriated budget and financial plans, and it confirms that MVS, Inc. is compliant with tax obligations and is a certified business enterprise in the District.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for the procurement process, including the administration of the Teacher Supply Card program, which provides eligible teachers with virtual gift cards for classroom supplies. It mandates that contracts exceeding $250,000 must subcontract at least 35% of the dollar volume to certified small business enterprises. The bill also introduces provisions to promote local employment, requiring that at least 51% of new hires for contracts over $300,000 be District residents, and emphasizes compliance with various labor laws. Furthermore, it establishes detailed insurance requirements for contractors, a revised dispute resolution process for claims, and a new clause regarding changes to contracts, while deleting the previous clause on Cost and Pricing Data to streamline contract provisions.
