The proposed Modification No. M017 to Contract No. DCRL-2023-F-0071 with Microsoft Corporation aims to exercise the second option year for the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) project, extending the contract period from June 30, 2025, to June 29, 2026, with a not-to-exceed amount of $6,274,510. This modification allows Microsoft to continue its work on the CCWIS, which includes troubleshooting, implementing data fixes, and ensuring system functionality. The contract is structured as a labor hour contract with a cost reimbursement component, and the amount for this option year is lower than previous periods due to the completion of most initial development work. The modification has been certified by the District of Columbia's Office of the Attorney General, confirming that Microsoft has no pending legal claims against the District and is compliant with tax obligations.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for acknowledging receipt of amendments to offers in the context of contract modifications, specifying that offers must acknowledge receipt by completing designated items or by acknowledging receipt on each submitted offer copy. It also allows for changes to previously submitted offers if received before the specified opening hour and date. The bill includes provisions for modifying contracts/orders, specifically referencing the exercise of options under the CCWIS contract, confirming the exercise of option year two for the specified period and amount, while all other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged.
