B 26-0257 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits to District Employees Amendment Act of 2025

This bill modifies the District of Columbia's subcontracting requirements for vendors bidding on health benefits contracts for District government employees and their families. It allows bids to be considered responsive even if a subcontracting plan (showing 35% allocation to small businesses) isn't submitted at bid time, as long as the plan is provided before the plan year begins. The change specifically applies to health benefits contracts, which have unique timing because their value depends on annual enrollment projections unknown until after the open enrollment period. The bill maintains the existing 35% subcontracting requirement but adjusts the submission timeline to align with enrollment cycles, with no expected fiscal impact.
