AD0-OIG-FY12 Seeking Solution for Inscribing D. C. Office of the Inspector General assigned WMATA SmarTrip Cards

The District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is seeking a contractor to provide a solution for inscribing specific information on WMATA SmarTrip cards. The project requires a vendor capable of writing, engraving, printing, or otherwise marking OIG-assigned SmarTrip cards with the name, District Government address, and telephone number of designated OIG officials. This procurement opportunity was posted on February 23, 2012, with proposals due by February 29, 2012, indicating a short turnaround time for potential contractors. The primary objective is to create a customized identification method for OIG-assigned SmarTrip cards, ensuring clear and professional labeling of official cards. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the contract appears to prioritize vendors with capabilities in precise card inscription and printing technologies.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were mentioned in the contract opportunity description. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. Additionally, no information was provided about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, or technology integration requirements. The contract appears to be a targeted, specific procurement for a precise service related to SmarTrip card customization. Without explicit budget information, it is difficult to estimate the potential award value, though the scope suggests a relatively focused and potentially limited-scale procurement. Interested contractors would need to demonstrate technical capability in card inscription methods and the ability to meet the District of Columbia OIG's specific requirements for card identification and labeling.
