Modification Nos. M03 and M04 to Contract No. DCPL-2022-C-0027C with Ingram Library Services, LLC Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Act of 2026
This emergency bill approves two modifications to an existing contract with Ingram Library Services, LLC, allowing the company to continue supplying books, materials, and related services to the District of Columbia Public Library and its schools. The legislation authorizes a total payment of $1.2 million for these goods and services, which includes a $950,000 increase from the current budgeted amount for the current year. By bypassing standard procurement rules, the bill enables the immediate release of funds to ensure the library system can fulfill its obligations without delay. The contract remains in effect for a limited 90-day period as required for emergency legislation.
