Bill > B26-0594

This bill, the Contracting and Procurement Reform Amendment Act of 2026, aims to modernize the District of Columbia's procurement processes by amending the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010. Key changes include modifying how the Council reviews contract modifications and option years, relocating the Office of the Ombudsman of Contracting and Procurement to the Office of the City Administrator, and establishing standards for pay-for-performance contracts, where payment is tied to achieving specific outcomes. The bill also updates requirements for technical evaluation panels, reforms the District's supply schedule for direct purchases, mandates that the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) enter into a data-sharing agreement with the Council, and creates a consolidated procurement portal with a forecasting module for public notice of upcoming solicitations, all to ensure greater clarity and comparability in bid documents.
