The resolution seeks emergency approval from the Council of the District of Columbia for Modifications Nos. 1, 2, and 3 to Contract NFPHC-OPS-23-C-00059 between the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation (United Medical Center) and Morrison Management Specialists, Inc. for Food and Nutrition Management services. The modifications are necessary due to a delay in the opening of Cedar Hill, which required an extension of the contract period and resulted in increased costs due to inflation and higher utilization rates. The total retroactive value of the contract, if approved, would amount to $1,144,733.00.

The urgency of this resolution is underscored by the impending dissolution of the Not-for-Profit Hospital Corporation on September 30, 2025, which necessitates immediate Council action to ensure that Morrison Management Specialists, Inc. can be compensated for the services rendered. The resolution emphasizes that without this approval, the vendor cannot be paid for critical food services exceeding $999,999.99, thus highlighting the importance of the Council's prompt consideration and approval of the proposed modifications.
