FY'14-RFQ-DPR-football uniforms-dcss suppliers preferred

The District of Columbia has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for football uniforms through the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), specifically targeting DCSS Suppliers Preferred vendors. This procurement opportunity, identified by the unique contract ID 66c85caf829eb5d869074178, was posted on May 13, 2014, with a rapid turnaround time and a due date of May 16, 2014. The solicitation appears to be focused on acquiring specialized football uniforms, likely for municipal recreational leagues or school sports programs. While specific details about the exact specifications of the uniforms are not provided, the procurement suggests a need for standardized athletic apparel that meets municipal procurement standards. The extremely short window between posting and submission dates indicates an urgent procurement need, which may require vendors to have immediate production capabilities and readily available inventory.

Given the limited information provided, it is unclear whether this contract opportunity includes specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The reference to "DCSS Suppliers Preferred" suggests there might be a pre-qualified vendor list or a specific procurement pathway for certain suppliers. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The brevity of the contract notice and the compressed timeline might indicate a streamlined procurement process with potentially limited competitive bidding. Vendors interested in this opportunity would need to be prepared to respond quickly, have the necessary uniform manufacturing capabilities, and potentially be part of the District of Columbia's preferred supplier network. The procurement appears to be a targeted, expedited acquisition of football uniforms for municipal or educational athletic programs.
