Official Code § 2-352.02(c), the following contract summary is provided:
COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY
(Sole Source)
(A) Contract Number: CW107550
Proposed Contractor: The Community Partnership for the Prevention of
Homelessness (TCP)
Contract Amount (Base Period): Not-to-Exceed: $43,821,316.26
Unit and Method of Compensation: Units are priced per month for each CLIN
Term of Contract: July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023
Type of Contract: Firm-Fixed Price Contract based upon Fixed
Monthly Prices with a Fixed-Unit Requirements and
Cost Reimbursement Component
Source Selection Method: Sole Source
(B) For a contract containing option periods, the contract amount for the base period and for
each option period. If the contract amount for one or more of the option periods differs from
the amount for the base period, provide an explanation of the reason for the difference:
Base Period Amount: Not-to-Exceed $43,821,316.26
(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
The Continuum of Care (CoC) includes a network of service providers to provide services for over
5,000 individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless in the District. The contractor
shall provide operational management and oversight of emergency shelter, transitional housing, and
permanent housing with supportive services for homeless individuals and families in the District.
The services under the proposed sole source contract are essential to the mission of the Department
of Human Services (DHS) and ensures the District complies with the right to shelter mandate
1
included in the Homeless Services Reform Act. Further, without this contract, the lack of shelter
and services would have a catastrophic effect on over 5,000 of the District’s most at risk and
vulnerable residents who rely on these services to survive.
(D) The date on which a competitive procurement for these goods or services was last conducted,
the date of the resulting award, and a detailed explanation of why a competitive procurement
is not feasible:
The Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) on behalf of DHS, issued a request for
competitive sealed proposals on August 17, 2022, seven amendments were issued and the
solicitation officially closed on October 7, 2022. The solicitation was full and open competition,
and three responses were received by the due date. Two of the proposals were deemed non-
responsive and one proposal was deemed not-technically acceptable. As a result, there were no
successful offerors from this solicitation and the solicitation was cancelled on March 28, 2023.
The District anticipates re-soliciting the CoC requirement in FY23 and awarding a long-term
contract by January 2024. It is in the best interest of the District to ensure that a delay or gap in
services does not occur in the performance of the CoC homeless services by proceeding with the
proposed sole source contract until the long-term contract is procured.
(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the
protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the protestor, or
voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the protestor, the grounds
alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the District as a result of the protest:
No protest received.
(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,
financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current government or private
sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:

homeless since 1994. TCP has financial stability and can adequately obtain the resources required for
the support services of this contract. This evidence is provided from the contractor’s financial history
as reported by Dun and Bradstreet Business Report; completed on May 1, 2023.
