FY14 DYRS - Customizable Daypack Bag for Portable Media Player

The District of Columbia's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) is seeking proposals for customizable daypack bags designed to accommodate portable media players, as part of their fiscal year 2014 procurement cycle. This specific solicitation, identified by the contract opportunity ID 66c85c8e829eb5d869073ffe, was publicly posted on July 8, 2014, with a rapid turnaround time, as proposals were due by July 11, 2014. The procurement appears to be a targeted acquisition for specialized equipment, likely intended to support youth rehabilitation program needs. While detailed technical specifications are not fully provided, the contract seems to focus on acquiring daypacks that can securely and conveniently house portable media players, potentially for educational or recreational purposes within youth rehabilitation settings. The extremely short window between posting and proposal submission suggests this was likely a time-sensitive or urgently needed procurement.

Given the limited information available, it is unclear whether specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions were applied to this contract opportunity. No explicit details are provided regarding disadvantaged business enterprise requirements or preferences. The contract does not specify incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, no precise award value or budget range is outlined in the available documentation. The brevity of the solicitation and the compressed timeline indicate this may have been a relatively small-scale procurement, potentially part of a broader equipment acquisition strategy for the District of Columbia's youth rehabilitation program. Potential vendors would have needed to rapidly prepare and submit a proposal meeting the specific requirements for customizable daypacks compatible with portable media players within the three-day window between the posting and submission deadline.
