Commission approves amendment adding DEI clause to Project Ultra contract

Grand Forks County Commission · July 22, 2026

Summary

The commission approved an amendment to an IDIQ contract (Project Ultra) requiring a federal contractor nondiscrimination/DEI clause to apply to all task orders; staff said the change was not a concern and requested the chair's signature on the modification.

County staff asked the board to approve an amendment to the county’s IDIQ contract with Washington Headquarter Services to clarify that a federal DEI nondiscrimination clause applies to all task orders issued under the contract, regardless of when they were issued. Tom Ford said the county was "fine" with the amendment but needed to memorialize the change and requested the chair’s signature on the modification.

Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the amendment by unanimous voice vote. Staff did not raise immediate concerns about compliance or operational impact and said the change would be reflected in task orders going forward.
