Contract No. CW128161 with OceanPro Industries, Ltd. and Modification Nos. M001, M002, M003, M004 and M004a Approval and Payment Authorization Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to approve and pay for an expanded contract with OceanPro Industries, Ltd. to supply groceries for preparing meals for youth. The legislation increases the contract's total value to $1,737,357.81 through several modifications, which is required because the amount exceeds the $1 million threshold set by law. By passing this measure, the Council allows the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services to continue receiving these food supplies without interruption. The bill is classified as an emergency measure to facilitate immediate payment for services already provided and those to be delivered.
