FY15 - CF0 - OYP - MYLI 2015 T-Shirts and Polos (SBE, CBE and DCSS Only)

The District of Columbia's Office of Youth Programs (OYP) has initiated a procurement opportunity for FY15 focused on acquiring T-shirts and polos, specifically targeting small business enterprises (SBE), certified business enterprises (CBE), and District of Columbia Student Support Services (DCSS) vendors. The contract, identified by the unique ID 66c85bbd829eb5d86907367a, was posted and due on June 1, 2015, indicating an expedited procurement timeline. The goods being procured appear to be branded apparel, likely for youth program participants or staff, though specific design, quantity, and exact specifications are not fully detailed in the provided information. The procurement seems to be a targeted, time-sensitive acquisition with a narrow vendor pool restricted to specific local business categories. The due date of June 1, 2015, suggests this was a rapid procurement process with minimal time for vendor preparation or response.

The contract opportunity is explicitly reserved for small business enterprises (SBE), certified business enterprises (CBE), and District of Columbia Student Support Services (DCSS) vendors, effectively limiting competition to local, qualified businesses. This set-aside designation aims to support local economic development and provide opportunities for disadvantaged or targeted business categories within the District of Columbia. While specific award values or budget ranges are not provided in the available information, the focused nature of the procurement and its restriction to specific vendor types suggests a potentially modest contract value. The requirement for vendors to be SBE, CBE, or DCSS-affiliated indicates a strong preference for local businesses with established community connections and potentially demonstrated capabilities in serving youth-focused programs.
