PR 26-0208 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits for District Employees Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This bill extends the deadline for contractors to submit compliant subcontracting plans specifically for health benefits contracts covering District of Columbia employees and their families. It modifies the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act (CBE Act) to allow contractors to provide these plans after initial proposals, rather than at the proposal stage. This change addresses a practical issue where exact contract values (based on employee enrollment) weren't known during initial bidding. The bill directly affects vendors bidding on health benefits contracts administered by the District's Department of Human Resources (DCHR), ensuring their proposals won't be rejected under the CBE Act's subcontracting rules.
