AD0-OIG-FY11 (254-11) Procure Office Supplies for the Office of the Inspector General

The District of Columbia's Office of the Inspector General is conducting a small purchase procurement through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for office supplies. The solicitation covers 10 line items consolidated into a single lot, specifically targeting administrative and operational needs for the OIG. This procurement is designed to secure a comprehensive set of office supplies, though specific details about exact quantities or precise item specifications are not fully elaborated in the provided documentation. The procurement is time-sensitive, with a very narrow window between posting (September 19, 2011) and response deadline (September 21, 2011), indicating an expedited acquisition process. Potential vendors must carefully review the full solicitation to understand the complete requirements and ensure compliance with all stipulated conditions.

The procurement is explicitly restricted to contractors already registered on the D.C. Supply Schedule (DCSS), which significantly narrows the pool of eligible bidders. This restriction suggests a preference for local vendors who are pre-vetted and familiar with district procurement protocols. While the document does not specify exact award value or budget range, the limited scope and quick turnaround suggest this is likely a lower-value contract focused on routine office supply procurement. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements. The DCSS restriction implies a local economic development objective, potentially giving preference to District of Columbia-based businesses or those meeting specific local vendor qualifications.
