Litigation Special Projects FundsThe District of Columbia Attorney General’s Office has issued a forecast for Litigation Special Projects Funds designed to address unanticipated litigation needs that arise outside standard operating budgets. This funding opportunity is intended to support emergent legal matters requiring rapid response, additional resources, or specialized expertise not covered by existing appropriations. The purpose of the funds is to ensure the Office can effectively manage unforeseen litigation demands, maintain operational continuity, and fulfill its obligations to the public without delay. There is no specified set-aside, NAICS code, or organizational type restriction, indicating the opportunity is open to eligible providers who can meet the Office's requirements for urgent legal support. The forecast does not include a solicitation number or a formal request for proposals, and the posting date reflects a future date in 2026, suggesting this is a planning notice rather than an active procurement. No point of contact information is provided, and the place of performance and office address details are incomplete, reflecting the preliminary nature of this forecast. The contract is anticipated to be managed through the District of Columbia’s procurement portal, with further details likely to be released through the official UI link as the opportunity matures toward solicitation. Interested parties should monitor the portal for updates and future postings that will outline specific terms, eligibility criteria, and submission procedures.
