FA0 2012 Replacement Parts for Handheld Computing Devices RQ749846

The Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia is seeking a contractor to provide replacement parts for handheld computing devices, specifically Motorola products. The procurement opportunity, identified by solicitation number RQ749846, focuses on acquiring specific components including starter kits, battery doors and straps, auto charge cables, and styluses for their existing mobile computing infrastructure. This contract opportunity was posted on October 6, 2011, with a very tight proposal submission deadline of October 10, 2011 - a mere four-day window for potential vendors to respond. The contract appears to be a targeted replacement parts procurement designed to maintain and support the department's existing mobile computing equipment. While detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly stated in the provided documentation, vendors will likely be assessed on their ability to provide genuine Motorola-compatible replacement parts, their technical compatibility, pricing, and capacity to meet the Metropolitan Police Department's specific technological requirements.

No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the contract documentation. The procurement seems open to standard commercial vendors capable of supplying Motorola-compatible handheld device replacement parts. The contract appears to be a straightforward equipment replacement parts acquisition with no identified incumbent vendor or complex integration requirements. Given the narrow scope of the procurement - focusing on specific device accessories for Motorola handheld computing devices - the potential award value is likely to be relatively modest. Without explicit budget information, vendors can expect this to be a targeted, tactical procurement aimed at maintaining the operational readiness of the Metropolitan Police Department's mobile computing equipment. The brevity of the posting and the immediate submission deadline suggest this may be a time-sensitive, urgent replacement parts acquisition.
