Agency Compliance Monitoring

Each agency, including an agency that contracts or procures through the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP), must exercise its contracting and procurement authority so as to meet, on an annual basis, the goal of procuring and contracting 50 percent of the dollar volume of its goods and services, including construction goods and services, to Small Business Enterprises.

In most private or public/private development projects that have taken place on District property or that were funded in whole or in part with economic assistance from the District (including, for example, grants, Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Payment In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT), Planned Unit Development (PUD), or other zoning adjustments, tax abatements, and Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs)), the District requires that as a condition of the economic assistance, the private developer enters into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the Department of Small and Local Business Development (“DSLBD”). CBE Agreements require developers to contract with CBE’s for at least 35 percent of the dollar volume of the project.

Through CBE Agreements, DSLBD monitors contracting and procurement activities by private sector entities to ensure compliance with legal requirements regarding equity and development participation. DSLBD monitors compliance with all of the District government agencies.
