About this file
This document is an attachment titled "Ethics in Public Contracting" that outlines the ethical standards for employees and persons doing business with the District of Columbia Courts (the Courts). It prohibits employees from participating in procurements where they have a financial interest, and prohibits the offering or acceptance of gratuities, employment offers, or payments from subcontractors as inducements for contract awards. The document requires the Executive Officer to disseminate these ethical standards to all employees with procurement responsibilities and to all persons doing business with the Courts.
The related federal contract opportunity is for a DC Courts Signage and Wayfinding System. The solicitation seeks a qualified contractor in the DC Metro Area with experience in Architectural or Graphic Design/Signage to provide services including developing signage policies, designing and procuring signage, and coordinating signage-related tasks. The resulting contract will be a hybrid with a fixed-price component for management and other direct costs, and a cost-reimbursable component for production, procurement, and installation of signage. The contract term is five years, with two base years and three option years. The contract will be performed at the Courts' facilities in the Judiciary Square neighborhood of Washington, DC.
