The proposed bill seeks to approve Modification No. M003 to Contract No. DCHBX-2025-C-0002 with Nimbus Solutions Provider, allowing the exercise of option year two for a not-to-exceed amount of $2,500,000. This modification will enable Nimbus Solutions Provider to continue providing specialized IT staffing services to the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority (HBX) from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. The contract, structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, allows HBX to place orders as needed. The total contract value, after these modifications, amounts to $4,120,000, which includes the base year and both option years. The bill also incorporates the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, ensuring compliance with federal wage standards.
Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements and expectations for IT support services, including the need for highly qualified personnel and adherence to security and software development best practices. It emphasizes the importance of change management in IT operations and mandates that contractors submit their most recent SOC 2 audit reports. The bill also establishes comprehensive insurance requirements for contractors, including liability and workers' compensation insurance, and outlines the responsibilities of the Contract Administrator in managing contracts related to IT support services. Furthermore, it promotes employment of District residents and compliance with fair labor practices, ensuring accountability in contract management while incorporating necessary legal updates and requirements.
