The proposed Modification No. M017 to Contract No. DCRL-2023-F-0071 with Microsoft Corporation aims to exercise option year two for the Comprehensive Child Welfare Information System (CCWIS) at a maximum cost of $6,274,510. This modification will extend the contract period from June 30, 2025, to June 29, 2026, allowing Microsoft to continue its essential work on the CCWIS, which includes troubleshooting, implementing data fixes, and ensuring system functionality. The price for this option year is lower than previous periods due to the completion of most assessment and development services in earlier phases. The contract is structured as a labor hour contract with a cost reimbursement component, and the Child and Family Services Agency (CFSA) has confirmed sufficient budgetary funds for fiscal year 2025 to meet the obligations of this modification.

Additionally, the bill outlines procedures for acknowledging receipt of amendments to offers in response to solicitations, specifying that offers must be acknowledged prior to the designated hour and date to avoid rejection. It also allows for changes to previously submitted offers if received before the opening hour and date. The bill includes provisions for contract modifications under the authority of 27 DCMR, Chapter 36, specifically mentioning the exercise of option year two for the CCWIS contract. All other terms and conditions of the contract remain unchanged and in full effect.
