                      Wednesday, September 7, 2016

  Mrs. COMSTOCK. Mr. Speaker, I rise to acknowledge the Loudoun County 
Division of Procurement (LCDP) which has received the Achievement of 
Excellence in Procurement Award from the National Procurement 
Institute.
  The Loudoun County Division of Procurement has worked tirelessly to 
achieve this award consecutively for the past 18 years. Loudoun County 
is one of only nine government agencies in Virginia and one of only 48 
counties in the United States and Canada to receive this important 
award. By skillfully acquiring all goods and services, including 
professional services and construction for Loudoun County Government 
operations, the LCDP has continued to exude excellence. This has helped 
many businesses throughout Loudoun to receive the tools they need to 
advance and prosper.
  This accolade exemplifies the great levels of service which the 
division provides to its citizens. The LCDP has succeeded in its 
mission to provide resources and strengthen the economic stability of 
the Loudoun County area and has successfully created an environment 
which conveys expertise and excellence. I am certain that it has the 
resources and the backing to continue this trend and live up to its 
reputation.
  Mr. Speaker, this is an institution which helps the American people 
to thrive and to live out their aspirations within Loudoun. It embodies 
accomplishing the American dream by giving our citizens a chance to let 
their ideas grow. I would ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating the Loudoun County Division of Procurement. I wish this 
institution continued success in the future.
