Summary
The Fairfax City Purchasing Resolution governs the city's procurement practices. Updates to the resolution were first presented to the City Council in a work session on June 10, 2025, with no formal action taken at that time. The changes included at least one substantive policy amendment — prohibiting purchases of goods produced by child or forced labor — along with a number of items characterized as technical amendments. The updated resolution was subsequently brought back for formal consideration and approved unanimously as part of the consent agenda at the June 23, 2026 City Council meeting, on a 5-0 vote with Councilmember Hall absent.
