Proficient Procurement Amendment Act of 2025

The Proficient Procurement Amendment Act of 2025 would exempt District government agencies from certified business enterprise (CBE) requirements when purchasing vehicles or technology. This exemption applies if the goods aren’t reasonably available through CBEs at comparable price/performance, if direct purchases offer better benefits (like manufacturer warranties), or if required for compliance. Agencies must report these exempt purchases annually to the Office of Contracting and Procurement and the Council, split by contract value ($250,000 or less, and over). The change aims to reduce administrative delays and costs while maintaining oversight of taxpayer spending.
