The "Contract No. CW114997 with Carahsoft Technology Corporation Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" is an emergency bill aimed at approving a contract with Carahsoft Technology Corporation for Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance healthcare systems and improve access to healthcare services for citizens. The bill authorizes a total payment not to exceed $1,909,658.58, which includes necessary modifications to the contract, specifically modifications M007, M008, and the proposed M009, to fully exercise option year two of the contract. The legislation seeks to expedite the approval process by bypassing certain procurement requirements under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, emphasizing the urgency due to increased anticipated consumption levels of AWS services.

Additionally, the bill certifies funding for the Department of Health Care Finance's (DHCF) contract with Carahsoft, allocating the certified amount of $1,909,658.58 for fiscal year 2026 to cover costs related to migrating existing accounts and ensuring uninterrupted services from October 1, 2025, through September 15, 2026. This certification replaces previous funding certifications from July, August, and September 2025. The bill also modifies the existing contract to extend the performance period for option period two, increasing the total not-to-exceed amount for this period from $482,478.74 to $1,909,658.58, and introduces a new Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) 2003 for consumption overages. A detailed price schedule for AWS consumption is included, outlining estimated costs for various services while maintaining all other terms and conditions of the contract unchanged.
