Bill > B26-0255

This bill amends the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005 to modify the requirements for subcontracting plans related to health benefits contracts for District of Columbia government employees and their families. Specifically, the bill creates a new provision that allows bid or proposal submissions for health benefits contracts to be considered responsive even if they do not initially include a subcontracting plan, provided the plan is submitted prior to the commencement of the plan year. This is an emergency amendment with a 90-day duration, meaning it is intended to provide temporary flexibility in the procurement process for health benefits contracts. The bill aims to ease the administrative burden on contractors bidding for health benefits contracts by giving them more time to submit their required subcontracting plans while still maintaining the overall intent of the original law to promote small and certified business enterprises in District government contracting.
