Department of General Services 3924 Minnesota Avenue, NE, Washington D.C. 20019
Pursuant to section 202(c) of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, as amended,
D.C. Official Code § 2-352.02(c), the following contract summary is provided:

COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
(Contract)

City-wide Electronic Security Systems Operations, Inspection, Maintenance & Repair
Services

(A) Contract Number: DCAM-26-NC-GSA-0023

Proposed Contractor: Veritas Consulting Group, LLC.

Contractor’s Principals:

Proposed Contract Amount: Not-to-Exceed Amount of $2,085,328.36 (includes
$ 814, 720.15 Letter Contract Amount)

Term of Contract: March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027

Type of Contract: Firm-Fixed Price Contract with an aggregate, non-
guaranteed Owner Directed Allowance component

Source Selection Method: GSA Multiple Award Schedule (“MAS”) Program

(B) For a contract containing option periods, the contract amount for the base period
and for each option period. If the contract amount for one or more of the option
periods differs from the amount for the base period, provide an explanation of the
reason for the difference:
Base Year Current Not-to-Exceed (“NTE”) Amount: $2,085,328.36

Option Year 1 (“OY1”) Proposed NTE Amount: $2,149,564.60
The difference between the Base Period and OY1 is attributable to both the structure of the
contract’s pricing and the duration of services to be performed. Under Contract No.
DCAM-26-NC-GSA-0023 (the “Contract”), pricing is organized into two categories: (i)
the Firm‑Fixed‑Price services for regularly recurring, city‑wide Electronic Security
Systems (“ESS”) operations, inspections, testing, preventive maintenance, corrective
maintenance, software administration, credentialing support, reporting, and lifecycle
management (“Core Services”), and (ii) Time‑and‑Materials services performed under the
NTE Owner‑Directed Allowance for non‑routine repairs, component replacements,
upgrades, or other supplemental ESS work authorized by the Department of General
Services (the “Department” or “DGS”) (“Supplemental Services”). Core Services are
priced at fixed annual unit rates, while Supplemental Services are billed using fixed labor
rates and material costs as authorized under the Allowance. For OY1, the fixed unit rates
Page 2 of 8

Department of General Services 3924 Minnesota Avenue, NE, Washington D.C. 20019
for Core Services reflect the annual escalation included in the contract to account for
inflation, labor cost adjustments, and market conditions applicable to ESS technical and
cybersecurity personnel.

Option Year 2 (“OY2”) Proposed NTE Amount: $2,216,049.76
Explanation of difference from B ase Period: The rates for each option year include an
increase from the fixed unit rates for the preceding year to account for inflation.
Additionally, the NTE amount for OY2 includes compensation for twelve (12) months of
Basic Services and Supplemental Services.

Option Year 3 (“OY3”) Proposed NTE Amount: $2,284,861.12
Explanation of difference from B ase Period: The rates for each option year include an
increase from the fixed unit rates for the preceding year to account for inflation.
Additionally, the NTE amount for OY3 includes compensation for twelve (12) months of
Basic Services and Supplemental Services.

Option Year 4 (“OY4”) Proposed NTE Amount: $2,356,081.60
Explanation of difference from B ase Period: The rates for each option year include an
increase from the fixed unit rates for the preceding year to account for inflation.
Additionally, the NTE amount for OY4 includes compensation for twelve (12) months of
Basic Services and Supplemental Services.

(C) The date on which the letter contract or emergency contract was executed:

A letter contract with Veritas Consulting Group, LLC (the “Contractor”) was executed by
the Department of General Services (the “Department” or “DGS”) on March 1, 2026 (the
“Letter Contract”).

(D) The number of times the letter contract or emergency contract has been extended:

The Letter Contract has been extended two times. Modification No. 1 to the Letter
Contract, executed on May 22, 2026, extended the term of the Letter Contract through June
30, 2026. Modification No. 2 to the Letter Contract, executed on June 5, 2026, extended
the term of the Letter Contract through July 31, 2026.

(E) The value of the goods or services provided to date under the letter contract or
emergency contract, including under each extension of the letter contract or
emergency contract.

The total value of the services provided to date under the Letter Contract is $814,720.15,
which represents the NTE amount established by the Letter Contract.

(F) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and
any significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:

Page 3 of 8

Department of General Services 3924 Minnesota Avenue, NE, Washington D.C. 20019
Under the proposed Contract, the Contractor would provide City- wide Security Systems
Operations, Inspections, Maintenance & Repair Services.

The Contract provides city-wide electronic security systems operations, inspection,
maintenance & repair services at various District -owned and/or operated facilities ,
performed at the request and discretion of the Department. The Contract contains a base
period of one year anticipated to run from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027, and
up to four (4) one -year option periods. The Contract has a total NTE amount of
$2,085,328.36 for the Base Period.

(G) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and
the evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance
components:

The Department fulfilled this requirement by ordering through the contractor’s existing
GSA Multiple Award Schedule (“MAS”) contract in accordance with the streamlined
competitive procedures set forth in FAR Subpart 8.4. Under the MAS program , the U.S.
General Services Administration (“GSA”) conducts the initial competition, responsibility
determinations, and price reasonableness evaluations before awarding a Schedule contract.
As part of that process, GSA evaluates each contractor’s technical qualifications, financial
capability, past performance, and commercial sales practices, and negotiates ceiling rates
to ensure pricing is fair and reasonable. Because these evaluations occur at the
Schedule‑award level, ordering activities are authorized to place orders directly against
MAS contracts without conducting a separate full and open competition.

The Department determined that awarding this requirement under the contractor’s GSA
MAS contract represented the best value to the District based on price, technical capability,
scope alignment, and the efficiencies inherent in the FAR 8.4 ordering framework. The
pre‑award federal vetting significantly reduces acquisition risk and allows the Department
to rely on GSA’s determinations when placing orders that fall within the contractor’s
awarded Special Item Numbers (“SINs”).

The Department reviewed the C ontractor’s awarded SINs (334290 and 334512) and
confirmed that the full scope of the District’s ESS requirement including operations,
inspection, testing, preventive and corrective maintenance, emergency response, software
and database administration, credentialing support, cybersecurity support, lifecycle
management, and related technical services falls squarely within the scope of the
Contractor’s MAS award. The services outlined throughout Section C of the ESS Statement
of W ork require specialized capabilities in security systems, access control, video
surveillance, intrusion detection, intercom systems, security server infrastructure, software
administration, cybersecurity standards compliance, asset management, and systems
lifecycle planning. These requirements directly match the labor categories and service
offerings available under the Contractor’s MAS SINs, and the Department verified that all
proposed labor rates were at or below the GSA‑negotiated ceiling rates.

Page 4 of 8

Department of General Services 3924 Minnesota Avenue, NE, Washington D.C. 20019
Additionally, the Department confirmed that the C ontractor possesses the technical
resources, manufacturer‑certified personnel, program management structure, emergency
response capability, and cybersecurity competencies required to support the District’s
large‑scale ESS environment as described in Section C – Specification/Work Statement.
Because GSA has already evaluated the C ontractor’s past performance and technical
capability in awarding the MAS contract, and because the Department’s own review
confirmed alignment with the District’s ESS operational needs, the C ontractor’s offering
was determined to represent a high‑confidence technical solution.

The Department negotiated the price because the total order value exceeds the MAS
Maximum Order threshold. The C ontractor provided pricing consistent with GSA’s
competitive framework, and the Department documented that the pricing was fair and
reasonable given the complexity, breadth, and mission‑critical nature of the ESS
requirement. The Contractor’s ability to provide all required ESS services under a single
integrated MAS contract further enhances best‑value by eliminating the need for multiple
procurements, reducing administrative burden, and ensuring consistent technical
ownership of the District’s security systems portfolio.

(H) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including
whether the protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the
protestor, or voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the
protestor, the grounds alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the
District as a result of the protest:

No bid protests have been filed in connection with this award. Accordingly, there were no
allegations, protest grounds, or deficiencies identified, and no corrective action, litigation,
or withdrawal occurred.

(I) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its
organization, financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current
government or private sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the
proposed contract:

The Contractor is a qualified and experienced security -technology services provider with
an established track record supporting complex ESS environment similar to the District’s
city-wide portfolio. As a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contractor, the Contractor
has undergone the rigorous pre -award vetting performed by the GSA, which includes
assessments of organizational capability, financial responsibility, past performance,
technical expertise, and commercial business practices. Their awarded SINs 334290
(Security and Detection Systems) and 334512 (Total Solution Support Products for
Facilities Management Systems) demonstrate that the firm has met federal standards for
providing integrated security systems, facility-technology support services, and the full
lifecycle operations, maintenance, and technical administration of electronic security
platforms.

Page 5 of 8

Department of General Services 3924 Minnesota Avenue, NE, Washington D.C. 20019
The Contractor’s organizational structure supports delivery of comprehensive ESS
services, including system operations, inspection, testing, preventive and corrective
maintenance, emergency response, software and database administration, credentialing
administration, cybersecurity support, lifecycle management, documentation, reporting,
and training capabilities that align directly with the Department’s scope of work for
city-wide security systems. The ESS Statement of Work requires specialized,
manufacturer-certified personnel such as system administrators, cybersecurity specialists,
senior ESS technicians, and program managers, all of which are labor categories Veritas is
authorized to provide under its MAS contract. The Contractor’s ability to furnish trained
and certified personnel for access control systems, video surveillance systems, intrusion
detection systems, intercom systems, optical turnstiles, credentialing systems, security
servers, and other supported platforms reflects a mature workforce capable of meeting the
District’s operational performance standards.

Financial stability is inherent in the MAS award process, as GSA evaluates a contractor’s
financial soundness and capacity to perform large-scale, multi-year service contracts prior
to issuing a Schedule contract. The Contractor’s continued eligibility and active standing
on the MAS program further indicate sustained financial health and responsible contract
performance. Additionally, the firm’s past performance evaluations reviewed and accepted
by GSA during Schedule award and renewal demonstrate successful delivery of security
systems support and technical services for government and commercial clients with
requirements comparable to the District’s ESS program. This background provides the
District with confidence that the Contractor has the institutional capability, operational
maturity, and staffing depth necessary to support a large, distributed ESS environment
across more than 800 District-owned and District-operated facilities.

In sum, the Contractor possesses the organizational infrastructure, financial stability,
qualified personnel, and relevant past performance required to support the District’s
comprehensive ESS operations. Their MAS-vetted qualifications, combined with
alignment to the District’s technical, operational, and cybersecurity requirements, establish
Veritas as a capable and reliable provider for this contract.

(J) A summary of the subcontracting plan required under section 2346 of the Small,
Local, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of
2005, as amended, D.C. Official Code § 2-218.01 et seq . (“Act”), including a
