The Homeless Services Contract Adjustment Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010 by establishing a timeline for processing requests for equitable adjustments to homeless services contracts. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) must process these requests within 45 calendar days of receiving a complete request. A request is deemed complete when the contractor has submitted all necessary information and documents for OCP to assess the request. Additionally, OCP is required to inform the contractor in writing within 7 business days of the submission that the request is considered complete.
This amendment is designed to streamline the process for contractors providing homeless services, ensuring they receive timely adjustments based on wage determinations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor. The bill is set to take effect following approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency act provisions of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
