ADO-OIG-FY11 (P-260-11) Procure Shredder & Shedder Bags for the DC Office of the Inspector General's Investigations Division

The District of Columbia Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Investigations Division is seeking to procure a shredder and associated shredder bags through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) with a narrow procurement timeline. The solicitation, identified as ADO-OIG-FY11 (P-260-11), involves two line items within a single lot, specifically targeting equipment and consumable supplies for document destruction. The procurement is designed to support the Investigations Division's operational needs for secure document management. The solicitation was posted on September 21, 2011, with an extremely tight response deadline of September 22, 2011, allowing potential vendors less than 24 hours to submit their quotes. While specific technical requirements are not detailed in the available information, the procurement appears focused on obtaining a shredder and corresponding shredder bags that meet the OIG's document security standards.

The contract opportunity is exclusively restricted to contractors registered on the D.C. Supply Schedule (DCSS), effectively limiting competition to a predefined group of local vendors. This procurement approach suggests a small purchase methodology designed to support local business participation. The restriction to DCSS contractors implies potential set-aside or preference provisions for District of Columbia-based businesses. No specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated in the procurement documentation. The jurisdictional scope is limited to the District of Columbia, with the applicable FIPS code of 11001 indicating the precise geographic and administrative boundary for this procurement opportunity. While incumbent vendors are not mentioned, the rapid turnaround time and specific vendor pool requirements suggest a streamlined, targeted procurement process intended to quickly address the OIG Investigations Division's equipment and supply needs.
