Contract No. DCCB-2025-C-0033 with Pitney Bowes Federal Government Systems Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This is a procedural emergency resolution (not a substantive bill) seeking Council approval for a specific contract. It authorizes the District of Columbia Attorney General's office to approve a 48-month, $218,928.40 contract with Pitney Bowes Federal Government Systems for postage services and leased mailing equipment. The resolution cites emergency necessity under DC procurement laws to avoid service disruption. It requires only single-reading approval due to the contract's multi-year nature and immediate operational need.

MINOR
The bill was renumbered from PR 26-0371 to 26-242, and the text was converted from a formal letter to a standard legislative resolution format. The core policy content regarding the emergency approval of a contract with Pitney Bowes for postage and mailing equipment remains substantively unchanged, though minor legal citations were updated to include the effective date of the relevant procurement law.
Scope change
No change to the scope or applicability of the bill; it still authorizes the same multi-year contract for the Office of the Attorney General.
TECHNICAL
The document format changed from a cover letter to the Council to the official text of a resolution.
The bill number was updated from PR 26-0371 to 26-242.
