AD0-OIG-FY11 Procure Office Furniture for Medicaid Fraud Control Unit

The District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is seeking a District of Columbia Supply Schedule (DCSS) supplier to procure office furniture specifically for its Medicaid Fraud Control Unit. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c85f1c829eb5d869075be0, was posted on August 23, 2011, with a remarkably tight response deadline of August 26, 2011. The primary objective is to acquire office furniture that will equip and furnish the workspace for the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, with the procurement limited to suppliers already registered on the District of Columbia Supply Schedule. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be a straightforward procurement focused on furnishing an office space for a government investigative unit. The extremely short window between posting and the due date suggests this was likely an urgent or expedited procurement process with minimal time for vendor preparation or extensive competitive bidding.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify any set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises, though as a District of Columbia procurement, there may be standard local procurement regulations regarding vendor diversity. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is provided. The procurement is specifically targeting DCSS-registered suppliers, which implies some pre-qualification requirements for potential vendors. The jurisdictional scope is limited to the District of Columbia, with the procurement being conducted within the local government's procurement framework. Given the narrow focus on office furniture for a specific unit within the Office of the Inspector General, the contract appears to be a targeted, small-scale procurement aimed at directly supporting the operational needs of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
