DOC CDF Security Supplies (Flex-Cuff, Handcuff, Photo ID Wristbands) SBE Vendors only

The District of Columbia Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors to provide security supplies, specifically flex-cuffs, handcuffs, and photo ID wristbands. This procurement opportunity was posted on December 20, 2016, with a submission deadline of December 25, 2016. The contract appears to focus on supplying essential security equipment for correctional facilities, with potential requirements for specialized restraint and identification materials. While specific technical specifications are not detailed in the provided information, the procurement suggests a need for high-quality, reliable security equipment that meets correctional facility standards. The short turnaround time between posting and submission dates indicates an urgent or time-sensitive procurement process, which may require vendors to have immediate inventory and rapid fulfillment capabilities.

The contract is exclusively reserved for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors, which suggests a targeted approach to supporting smaller, local businesses in the District of Columbia's procurement ecosystem. This set-aside designation limits competition to qualifying SBE vendors, potentially providing opportunities for smaller businesses to secure government contracts. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the available information, nor are there details about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure. Interested SBE vendors would need to verify their qualification status and ensure they can meet the specific security supply requirements for the Department of Corrections. The procurement's focus on security supplies indicates a need for vendors with experience in correctional or law enforcement equipment procurement and the ability to provide high-quality, compliant restraint and identification products.
