Summary: This bill would require the procurement policy board (“PPB”) to set time limits within which agencies would be required to complete each step of the procurement process. The mayor’s office of contract services (“MOCS”) would be required to (1) assess whether each agency is complying with the time limits set by the PPB; (2) assess the difference between the time limits and the actual time required for each step of the procurement process; and (3) recommend changes to the time limits set by the PPB. MOCS would provide a report to the PPB, the Mayor and the Council and would post the report on its website. The PPB would be required to reevaluate and revise the timeframe goals based on the MOCS report. This bill would also require MOCS to develop an online platform that can be used for tracking contracts from the bid award to registration. The online platform would be available to the public.

No later than December 1, 2023, and every two years thereafter, the mayor’s office of contract services shall complete a study of the contracts affected by subdivision a and shall submit to the procurement policy board, the mayor and the council, and post on such office’s website, a report disclosing the following:

1. For each contract subject to this section, whether the agencies met the time limits set by the procurement policy board for each step of the procurement process and oversight review;

2. For each contract subject to this section, the difference between such time limits and the time actually required by the agencies for each step of the procurement process and oversight review; and

3. Recommendations for changes to the time limits set by the procurement policy board.

c. Upon receipt of such report, the procurement policy board may reevaluate and amend the time limits designated in subdivision a.
