AI Contract Overview

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) has announced its intent to award a sole source contract to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) to provide SmartBenefits, which are transit products used in support of the BEP’s Public Transportation Incentive (PTI) Program. This program subsidizes employee transportation costs related to public transit options within the Washington Metropolitan Area, including WMATA’s Metrorail and Metrobus systems. The initiative aligns with the Department of the Treasury’s Treasury Directive 74-10 and BEP Circular No. 70-01.3, both of which aim to encourage the use of public transportation among Treasury employees, thereby reducing traffic congestion, lowering energy consumption, and decreasing vehicular pollution. The subsidy currently covers up to $240 per employee for transit expenses. The contract, with an estimated maximum value of $6,283,500, is set to begin on October 1, 2013, covering the base year under contract line item number 0001. The contracting office managing this action is the BEP’s Office of Acquisition located at 14th & C Streets, SW, Washington, DC, with Michael Bolden serving as the Contract Specialist and point of contact. This action is a notice rather than a solicitation, as the BEP intends to award the contract exclusively to WMATA for the provision of SmartBenefits, enabling the continuation and support of the PTI Program for eligible federal employees.
