WDCEP

The District of Columbia’s Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development has issued a sole source grant forecast to the Washington DC Economic Partnership, indicating an intent to award funding without competitive bidding. The opportunity, posted on July 23, 2026, is part of the city’s broader economic development strategy and is intended to support initiatives led by WDCEP, a key public-private partnership entity focused on business retention, attraction, and community economic growth within the District. No solicitation number, NAICS code, or set-aside information is provided, reinforcing the non-competitive nature of the award and its alignment with strategic local priorities. The grant does not specify a monetary value, duration, or detailed scope of work, but its designation as a sole source implies reliance on WDCEP’s established role and expertise in executing economic development programs across the District. The place of performance is unspecified, though it is expected to center on Washington, D.C., consistent with the agency’s mission. The forecast serves as a preliminary notice to the public, allowing for transparency while preparing for an eventual formal award. No point of contact is listed, and no additional details such as contracting office location or ZIP code are provided, suggesting that further information may be released through internal procurement channels or directly to the recipient.
