The proposed Modification No. M005 to Contract No. CW111811 with Merative US L.P. seeks to exercise option year two for the contract, which will run from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $3,828,257.65. This modification allows Merative to continue providing software subscription renewal and support for the District of Columbia Access System (DCAS). The contract is part of a larger agreement that includes a base period and an option period one, with the total funding for the contract now amounting to $14,763,456.07 across all periods.

The modification is supported by a certification from the Department of Health Care Finance, confirming that the necessary funds are available within the appropriated budget for the fiscal year. Additionally, the Citywide Clean Hands database indicates that Merative is current with its District taxes, ensuring compliance with local regulations. All other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.
