The Office of Contracting and Procurement’s (OCP) mission is to procure quality goods and services through a streamlined procurement process that is transparent and responsive to the needs of government agencies and the public, and ensures all purchases are conducted fairly and impartially.

Summary of Services
OCP manages the purchase of $1.1 billion in goods and services annually, on behalf of over 70 District agencies. In its authority under the Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010 (PPRA), OCP is responsible for both establishing procurement processing standards that conform to regulations and monitoring procurement service delivery. To enhance procurement processing and management, OCP specialists are delegated to agency worksites to directly collaborate with program staff on requirements for pre-award, including solicitation planning and development, as well as, contract administration, after award. The D.C. Supply Schedule, the Purchase Card (P-Card) program, District-wide acquisition of universal goods and services, and the Surplus Property program are also core OCP services. OCP’s learning and certification programs support ongoing development of staff proficiency and procurement service quality.
