FY11-CT0-Programming-Anton Bauer Field Camera Batteries & Chargers

The District of Columbia's Office of Cable Television (OCT) is seeking a vendor to procure specialized camera equipment for its field production department. Specifically, the procurement involves six Anton Bauer Dionic 160 field camera batteries and four Anton Bauer Tandum 70 battery chargers, which will be used with Sony DVCAM field camcorders to capture content for the agency's three channels. The contract opportunity was posted on August 18, 2011, with a proposal submission deadline of September 2, 2011. This procurement appears to be a direct equipment purchase for the agency's field production needs, targeting vendors capable of supplying high-quality professional camera batteries and charging equipment. The solicitation focuses on precise technical specifications for camera support equipment, suggesting a need for vendors with specialized knowledge of professional broadcast and production technology.

While the contract opportunity document does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, it represents a targeted procurement for a specific technological need within the District of Columbia's government infrastructure. The procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment acquisition without complex qualification requirements beyond the ability to supply the specified Anton Bauer battery and charger models. No specific budget range or estimated contract value is provided in the available documentation. The contract appears to be a one-time purchase of six batteries and four chargers for the OCT's field production department, supporting the agency's media production capabilities across its three channels. Potential vendors would need to demonstrate the ability to provide the exact battery and charger models specified, with a focus on meeting the technical requirements for professional broadcast equipment.
