FY16 BOE - June 1016 Primary Election - Supplies - DCSS Vendors Only

The District of Columbia Board of Elections (BOE) has issued a procurement opportunity for supplies related to the June 2016 Primary Election, specifically targeting DCSS (District of Columbia Supply Schedule) vendors. This contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c85af2829eb5d869072d10, was posted on May 10, 2016, with an extremely tight turnaround, as the response was due on May 11, 2016. The procurement appears to be focused on acquiring election-related supplies necessary for conducting the primary election, though specific details about the exact nature of supplies are not fully elaborated in the provided documentation. The extremely compressed timeline suggests this was likely an urgent, time-sensitive procurement aimed at ensuring the District could successfully execute its upcoming primary election. The contract appears to be exclusively reserved for vendors already registered on the District of Columbia Supply Schedule, which implies pre-qualification and vetting of potential suppliers.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions beyond DCSS vendor qualification, the procurement's narrow scope and rapid timeline indicate a focused, targeted acquisition process. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are disclosed in the provided information. The restriction to DCSS vendors suggests the District of Columbia maintains a curated list of approved suppliers who have met specific criteria for providing goods and services to municipal agencies. The brevity of the contract opportunity description and the immediate response deadline further emphasize the urgent and procedural nature of this procurement, likely related to standard election preparation and supply procurement protocols for the District's electoral infrastructure.
