The proposed Modification No. M0001 to Contract No. CW115280 with Unity Health Care, Inc. aims to exercise the first option year of the contract, allowing the contractor to continue providing comprehensive health care services to residents in the District of Columbia's Department of Corrections facilities. The modification sets a not-to-exceed amount of $50,519,892 for the period from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, and is consistent with the approved financial plan and budget for fiscal year 2026. Unity Health Care, Inc. is confirmed to be compliant with District taxes, and the contract remains unchanged in all other terms and conditions, with funding allocated from the Department of Corrections' approved operating budget, contingent on the approval of the fiscal year 2027 budget.

Additionally, the bill proposes amendments to existing legislation by introducing new provisions that enhance transparency and accountability measures in the operations of designated agencies. It also seeks to streamline processes by removing outdated procedural requirements that may hinder efficiency. These changes aim to improve public trust and facilitate quicker decision-making, reflecting a commitment to modernizing governmental practices while ensuring compliance with legal standards. The overall goal is to create a more coherent legal framework that better serves stakeholders and aligns with contemporary practices.
