FY12 - DHS Director Office - Emergency Preparedness Supplies

The District of Columbia's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking procurement of emergency preparedness supplies specifically for Emergency Support Function 6 (ESF6) during fiscal year 2012. This contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c85e2c829eb5d8690751f6, was posted on July 24, 2012, with an extremely tight response deadline of July 25, 2012 - indicating an urgent procurement process. The solicitation appears to focus on acquiring critical emergency response materials, likely including items such as shelter supplies, food, water, medical resources, and other essential emergency management equipment. Given the brevity of the posted information, specific deliverable details and precise evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined. The compressed timeline suggests this is a rapid procurement intended to enhance the district's emergency preparedness capabilities, with an emphasis on immediate acquisition of necessary supplies to support emergency management operations.

While the contract opportunity documentation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the emergency preparedness context implies potential preferences for vendors with demonstrated experience in disaster response and emergency supply logistics. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available information. The procurement appears to be directly associated with the District of Columbia's Department of Homeland Security, specifically targeting the Director's Office emergency preparedness needs. Without detailed budget information provided, the potential award value remains undefined, though emergency preparedness procurements typically represent significant financial investments ranging from tens of thousands to potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. The extremely short window between posting and response deadline suggests this may be a time-sensitive, sole-source or expedited procurement process designed to quickly address immediate emergency supply requirements.
