AD0-OIG-FY12 (P-051-12-I&E) Procure Goods and Equipment for the Office of the Inspector General's Inspection and Evaluations Division

The District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Inspections and Evaluations Division has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for procuring goods and equipment through a small purchase procurement. The solicitation, identified as AD0-OIG-FY12 (P-051-12-I&E), specifically seeks to acquire eight line items bundled into a single lot. The procurement was posted on December 12, 2011, with a tight response deadline of December 14, 2011, indicating an urgent acquisition timeline. While specific details about the exact goods are not fully elaborated, the contract appears to involve equipment procurement for the OIG's Inspections and Evaluations Division. The RFQ suggests a focused, targeted acquisition process with precise specifications for the required items.

The procurement opportunity is explicitly restricted to D.C. Supply Schedule contractors, which limits participation to pre-qualified local vendors. This restriction effectively creates a set-aside contract for District of Columbia-based suppliers, potentially supporting local business development. The small purchase procurement method suggests a relatively modest contract value, though the exact budget range is not specified in the provided documentation. By limiting the solicitation to D.C. Supply Schedule contractors, the government ensures that participating vendors have pre-established credentials and familiarity with district procurement requirements. The short turnaround time between posting and submission deadline (just two days) indicates an expedited procurement process, likely driven by immediate operational needs of the Office of the Inspector General's Inspections and Evaluations Division.
