Office of Contracting and Procurement
Pursuant to section 202(c) of the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, as amended, D.C.
Official Code § 2-352.02(c), the following contract summary is provided:
COUNCIL CONTRACT SUMMARY

Proposed Contractor: The Community Partnership for the Prevention of
Homelessness (TCP)

Term of Contract: July 1, 2024, through October 28, 2024
Type of Contract: Firm-Fixed Price Contract based upon Fixed Monthly
Prices with Fixed-Unit Requirements and Cost
Reimbursement Component
Source Selection Method: Emergency Procurement
(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: NTE $30,132,315.43
(C) The date on which the letter contract or emergency contract was executed:
Will be executed upon Council approval.
(D) The number of times the letter contract or emergency contract has been extended:
None.
1
(E) The value of the goods and services provided to date under the letter contract or emergency
contract, including under each extension of the letter contract or emergency contract:
None.
(F) 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 includes a network of service providers to provide services to 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 contract are essential to the Department of Human Services mission
and ensure the District complies with the right-to-shelter mandate 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.
(G) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance components:
The contract is being awarded pursuant to Section 1702 of 27 DCMR, emergency procurement
procedures. The District solicited for a long-term contract in August 2022. The solicitation resulted
in three proposals. Two of the proposals were deemed non-responsive and one proposal was
deemed not-technically acceptable. As a result, there were no successful offerors yielded from the
solicitation. Due to limited funding, the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) issued an
emergency contract approved by Council in May 2023. Council approved a six-month sole source
contract for the period of July 1, 2023, through December 30, 2023 (CA25-0264). The Council
subsequently approved two emergency contracts for the three-month period of January 1, 2024,
through March 31, 2024 (CA25-0568), and for the period of April 1, 2024, through June 30, 2024
(CA25-0646).
The District anticipates re-soliciting the Continuum of Care requirement in FY24 to begin FY25. 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 Continuum of Care homeless services by proceeding with the proposed
emergency contract until the long-term contract is procured.
(H) 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 was received.
