AD0-OIG-FY11 (P-245-11) Procure Materials DC Office of the Inspector General's IT Division

The District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Information Systems Division is conducting a small purchase procurement through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for nine distinct line items within a single lot. This procurement is specifically targeting the acquisition of materials for the OIG's IT Division, with a very short turnaround time between posting (September 13, 2011) and submission deadline (September 14, 2011). The solicitation is structured as a comprehensive procurement across nine line items, though specific technical details about the exact IT materials are not fully elaborated in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a rapid, targeted acquisition of technology or technology-related materials needed by the OIG's Information Systems Division. The extremely compressed timeline suggests an urgent or time-sensitive technological need for the District of Columbia's oversight agency.

The procurement is explicitly restricted to contractors registered on the D.C. Supply Schedule (DDCS), which significantly limits the pool of potential bidders to pre-approved local vendors. This restriction effectively creates a set-aside procurement that prioritizes local District of Columbia-based businesses and vendors who have already been vetted through the city's supply contracting process. While specific award values or budget ranges are not detailed in the provided information, the classification as a "small purchase procurement" indicates a relatively modest financial scope. The procurement's focus on the OIG's IT Division suggests the potential acquisition could involve computer hardware, software, networking equipment, or related technological infrastructure components. The one-day turnaround between posting and submission deadline underscores the procurement's urgent and streamlined nature, requiring rapid response from qualified DDCS contractors.
