FY15 OCTO BUSINESS DATA LOCAL - DCSS Preferred

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) has issued a local contract opportunity (ID: 66c85c19829eb5d869073aae) for Business Data Local services under the DCSS Preferred program for fiscal year 2015. This procurement appears to focus on technology and data services, with a specific emphasis on local business intelligence and information management solutions. The contract was posted on December 12, 2014, with a remarkably short response window, closing on December 16, 2014 - just four days after the initial posting. While specific detailed deliverables are not fully outlined in the provided information, the procurement suggests a comprehensive technology procurement targeting local government data management capabilities. The expedited timeline indicates an urgent need for the specified services, potentially requiring vendors to have rapid response and implementation capabilities.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or detailed restrictions on respondent organizations. Given its location in the District of Columbia, there is a possibility of local business preference or small/disadvantaged business considerations, though these are not definitively stated in the available information. The state ID (65a95d6ed947088ac30981ea) suggests this is an official government procurement process. Without precise budget ranges disclosed, the procurement appears to be part of the District's technology infrastructure enhancement efforts. The brevity of the posting and the compressed response timeline suggest this may be a targeted, potentially pre-vetted procurement with a specific set of potential vendors already identified. Interested parties would need to move quickly to prepare and submit a competitive response given the December 16, 2014 deadline.
