From the meeting
The bill required OCP to establish pay-for-performance standards for District contracting. The standards must tie compensation to measurable outcomes, milestone-based payment schedules, withholding or reduction of payments for missed benchmarks, and possible incentives or bonuses. Within 120 days after the effective date, the CPO must issue guidance identifying suitable contracts and develop model contract terms.
Agencies subordinate to the Mayor must consult with OCP when developing solicitations. The Committee on Public Works and Operations approved the engrossed bill on 2026-10-20.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
