From the meeting
The District of Columbia Council required the Department of Corrections to provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and District law to eligible people in custody age 18 through the end of eligibility. The temporary mandate covers school years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. This is a compliance and service-delivery trigger for special education staffing, programming, and related support inside secure facilities.
The act expires 225 days after it takes effect.

Questions about this project
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.
When will District of Columbia issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks District of Columbia's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with District of Columbia before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
