The bill titled "Modification Nos. 2 and 3 to Contract NFPHC-NUR-23-C-00039 between Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation and Aya Healthcare, Inc. Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2025" seeks to approve emergency modifications to an existing contract between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation, known as United Medical Center, and Aya Healthcare, Inc. The modifications aim to provide supplemental nursing staffing and authorize payments totaling $5.7 million for option year one and $1.2 million for option year two, despite the usual procurement requirements outlined in the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010.
The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Chief Financial Officer as part of the legislative process.
