FY 13 The District of Columbia, Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP), on behalf of Office of the Chief Medical Examiner Autopsy Supplies.

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) is seeking procurement of autopsy supplies for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner during fiscal year 2013. This specific contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c85e0c829eb5d86907509e, was posted on October 12, 2012, with a relatively short response window closing on October 17, 2012. The procurement appears to be focused on securing medical and forensic supplies specifically required for conducting autopsies, though precise details about the exact types and quantities of supplies are not fully elaborated in the provided documentation. While the solicitation provides limited information about specific evaluation criteria, vendors interested in responding would likely need to demonstrate expertise in medical and forensic supply procurement, adherence to medical standards, and the ability to meet the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's specialized requirements. The extremely tight timeline between posting and response deadline suggests this may have been an urgent or expedited procurement process.

Given the limited information provided, no specific set-aside designations or explicit restrictions on vendor participation are immediately apparent. The contract appears to be a standard municipal procurement without clear indications of minority or disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation, and there are no details provided about potential award values or specific budget ranges for this autopsy supplies contract. The procurement is specifically for the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, indicating a localized, jurisdiction-specific procurement effort. Potential vendors would need to be prepared to provide high-quality, specialized medical supplies suitable for forensic autopsy procedures, with the capability to meet the specific needs of a metropolitan medical examiner's office.
