About this file
This document outlines ethics standards for public contracting with the District of Columbia Courts. It establishes that all employees and contractors doing business with the Courts must observe ethical standards including prohibiting employees from participating in procurements where they have a financial interest or conflict of interest. It is considered a breach of ethics for any person to offer gifts or employment to influence the decision making or award of any Court contract. Employees are also barred from using confidential information for personal gain. No employee may serve on the board of a contractor that they manage a contract with. The related opportunity notice provides no additional details, simply identifying it as a special notice for program management services from the District of Columbia government for the DC Courts.
