Contract No. CW126113 with Science Applications International Corporation Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025
Summary
This resolution approves, on an emergency basis, multiyear Contract No. CW126113 with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The contract is authorized under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and is approved in a not-to-exceed amount of $40 million. The measure is framed as an emergency approval resolution, meaning it is intended to take effect immediately rather than through the ordinary legislative timetable.
The resolution is limited in scope and does not create a new regulatory program or amend substantive policy law. Instead, it authorizes the District to proceed with a specific multiyear procurement contract and incorporates the Chief Financial Officer’s fiscal impact statement by reference. It also requires transmittal of the adopted resolution to the Mayor and becomes effective immediately upon enactment.
Impact
The bill’s primary legal effect is to authorize the District government to enter into or continue a multiyear contract with SAIC up to $40 million. It affects procurement and contracting authority rather than general public law, and it confirms Council approval required for certain multiyear contracts under the Home Rule Act. The resolution has immediate effect and therefore allows the underlying contract action to proceed without delay.
Sentiment
The available voting record suggests broad support and little opposition: the resolution passed Final Reading by a 12-0 vote. No committee transcript or floor debate is provided, so there is no recorded public discussion showing disagreement or concern. The unanimous vote indicates the measure was treated as routine or noncontroversial by the Council.
Contention
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. Because there are no committee transcripts, the record does not show debate over the contract’s purpose, cost, vendor selection, or emergency designation. Any potential concerns would likely relate to procurement oversight, contract value, or the use of emergency approval, but none are explicitly raised in the available history.
