FX-OCME-FY2011-Goods-DL-01

The District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement, acting on behalf of the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), is seeking to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for toxicology kits. This procurement opportunity is specifically designed to secure a vendor capable of providing toxicology kits on an as-needed basis for the medical examiner's office. The procurement appears to be a flexible purchasing arrangement that will allow OCME to acquire toxicology kits as required without committing to a large upfront purchase. The contract is identified by the unique procurement code FX-OCME-FY2011-Goods-DL-01 and was initially posted on February 15, 2011. While the due date is listed as January 1, 1900 (which appears to be an administrative error), potential vendors should verify the current submission timeline with the contracting office directly. The primary objective of this procurement is to establish a reliable supply chain for critical forensic medical testing materials.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly noted in the provided contract documentation. The opportunity appears to be open to qualified vendors capable of supplying toxicology kits to a municipal medical examiner's office. Given the nature of the procurement and the specialized medical testing equipment involved, vendors would likely need to demonstrate specific qualifications related to medical supply distribution, toxicology kit manufacturing, and compliance with forensic testing standards. While no specific budget range was provided, toxicology kit procurement for a municipal medical examiner's office typically involves precise, quality-controlled medical supplies that can range significantly in price depending on specifications and volume. Interested vendors should contact the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement for detailed requirements, current procurement status, and specific qualification criteria.
