The proposed Modification No. M0015 to Contract No. CW97670 with Microsoft Corporation aims to exercise the fourth option year of the contract, allowing Microsoft to continue providing professional services to the District of Columbia. The modification sets a not-to-exceed amount of $10,000,000 for the period from May 3, 2026, through May 2, 2027, under an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity agreement. It confirms that Microsoft is compliant with District tax obligations and that the funding aligns with the approved fiscal year budget, ensuring adherence to the agency's appropriated budget authority. All other terms of the contract remain unchanged.
Additionally, the bill outlines a pricing structure for various labor categories within Microsoft's Industry Solutions Delivery (ISD) services, effective July 1, 2026, detailing hourly rates for positions such as technicians, consultants, project managers, and data scientists, with specific rates for cleared personnel. It emphasizes that Microsoft may revise these rates and that initial airfare to/from India will not be charged to customers. Provisions regarding daily per diem and travel charges will follow government travel regulations, and the bill highlights the necessity of security clearance for certain roles, ensuring a structured and transparent approach to pricing and service delivery in Microsoft's contractual agreements.
