This resolution declares an emergency to approve contract modifications with Carahsoft Technology Corporation for Amazon Web Services to support healthcare system modernization. The resolution addresses three contract modifications (M007, M008, and proposed M009) for the District of Columbia Department of Health Care Finance, which progressively increase the contract's value from $338,319.16 to $1,909,658.58 for services from October 1, 2025, through September 15, 2026. The modifications are necessary to continue vital technology services that will help modernize systems and improve citizen access to healthcare services and benefit programs. Under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, Council approval is required because the contract value exceeds $1 million within a 12-month period. The resolution emphasizes that without this approval, Carahsoft cannot be paid for goods and services provided, and it determines that the circumstances constitute an emergency warranting adoption after a single reading. The resolution will take effect immediately upon passage.
