FY15 DHS-DCASMicrosoft Surface Tablets- DCSS Vendors Only

The District of Columbia Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued a procurement opportunity for Microsoft Surface Tablets specifically targeting DCSS (District of Columbia Supplier Services) vendors for fiscal year 2015. This contract opportunity, identified by the unique identifier 66c85b7b829eb5d869073368, was posted on September 1, 2015, with a rapid turnaround time and a submission deadline of September 4, 2015. The procurement appears to be focused on acquiring Microsoft Surface Tablets for departmental use, likely to support mobile computing needs across various DC government agencies. The short timeline suggests an urgent technology refresh or replacement cycle for existing tablet infrastructure. Vendors interested in responding must be registered within the DCSS vendor system and meet any potential technical specifications for the Microsoft Surface Tablets.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the procurement is restricted to DCSS-registered vendors, which may inherently create a limited competitive pool. The contract appears to be specifically tailored for District of Columbia government agencies, potentially indicating a local, targeted procurement strategy. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the available documentation. The vendor qualification process likely involves verification of DCSS registration, potential technical capability assessments, and compliance with District of Columbia procurement regulations. The brevity of the posting and the tight submission window suggest this might be a streamlined, expedited procurement process with potentially pre-qualified or pre-vetted vendors in the District's supplier ecosystem.
