UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company Health Benefits Contract Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution requests emergency approval for a $595.8 million multiyear contract with UnitedHealthcare to provide fully insured health benefits to District of Columbia employees, their dependents, and retirees. It allows the District government to bypass standard procurement review steps to secure health coverage immediately, preventing disruption to existing benefits. The contract covers all health benefits administered under the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program for a five-year term. This is a procedural resolution to expedite an existing contract renewal, not a new policy change.
