The "Modification Nos. M0010 and M0011 to Contract No. CW92877 with Avid Systems, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026" is an emergency bill introduced by Mayor Muriel Bowser to authorize significant modifications to an existing contract with Avid Systems, LLC, which supplies information technology equipment and software. The bill aims to increase the not-to-exceed amount for the fourth option year of the contract from $1 million to $10 million and extends the contract term for this option year from February 28, 2026, through February 27, 2027. It also includes a provision allowing the Council to approve these modifications despite the stipulations of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, ensuring the uninterrupted procurement of essential IT services and equipment.

Furthermore, the bill certifies that the Office of Contracting and Procurement will allocate $10,000 in its FY2027 budget to cover potential costs related to the District of Columbia Supply Schedule (DCSS) contracts, ensuring a minimum order of $10.00 for each contract if no orders are placed. This emergency act will take effect upon the Mayor's approval and is designed to remain in effect for no longer than 90 days, in accordance with the regulations governing emergency acts in the District of Columbia.
