FY11A-CTO-PROGRAMMING-SODA

The District of Columbia is seeking to procure a comprehensive portable broadcast system through solicitation FY11A-CTO-PROGRAMMING-SODA, with proposals due on March 28, 2011. The procurement focuses on acquiring specialized broadcasting equipment, specifically four SD broadcast quality cameras with professional-grade accessories. Required equipment includes professional fluid head tripods, viewfinders, lens packages, camera control units, triax cable, a 33x15 extended lens package, and a Clear Com intercom system with base station and belt pack. The solicitation appears to be targeting advanced video production capabilities, likely for government media, public communications, or technical documentation purposes. The contract opportunity was originally posted on March 23, 2011, with a relatively short response window of approximately five days for potential vendors to prepare and submit comprehensive proposals.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the technical complexity of the broadcast equipment suggests a need for vendors with specialized audiovisual and broadcasting technology expertise. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, though the comprehensive nature of the equipment list implies a potentially substantial investment in professional broadcasting infrastructure. The solicitation appears to be issued by the District of Columbia's technology office, indicating an internal technology modernization or media production enhancement initiative. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate significant technical capabilities in professional broadcast equipment provisioning, installation, and potential integration with existing government media systems.
