The proposed bill seeks to modify Contract No. DCHBX-2025-C-0005 with Immediate Mailing Services, Inc. (IMS) to exercise Option Year Three, allowing for continued services related to the printing and mailing of health insurance notices and documents in various languages. The modification is set at a not-to-exceed amount of $1,800,000.00, covering the period from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. This increase in funding is necessary due to higher printing and mailing volumes resulting from additional notices required for eligibility verifications and new requirements under HR1 for the DC Health Link and Healthy DC Plan. The contract is structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, enabling the DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority (DCHBX) to place orders as needed.

Further modifications include the extension of Option Year One from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, with a total amount of $330,000, and an increase in the contract ceiling for Option Year Two by $5,000, raising the total to $335,000. The bill also incorporates Labor Wage Determination No. 2015-4281, Revision 34, dated July 8, 2025, into the contract. The total contract value is now $2,465,000, and all other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Additionally, the bill outlines the insurance requirements for the contractor, including various liability coverages, and emphasizes the contractor's responsibilities for maintaining confidentiality and providing detailed monthly invoices for work related to both DC and Massachusetts SHOP-related business.
