The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity focused on purchasing and distributing epinephrine pens to District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS). The procurement appears to be a time-sensitive requirement for providing emergency medical supplies to school environments, specifically aimed at managing potential anaphylactic reactions. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c85abb829eb5d869072a88, was posted and due on July 26, 2016, indicating an expedited procurement process. The primary deliverable involves the acquisition and distribution of epinephrine auto-injectors (commonly known as EpiPens) to be strategically placed in DCPS school locations. While specific technical specifications are not detailed in the provided information, the procurement likely requires vendors to meet medical supply standards and have the capability to distribute medical devices to multiple school sites within the District of Columbia.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Given the medical nature of the procurement, potential vendors would likely need appropriate medical supply distribution credentials and certifications. The brevity of the available information prevents a comprehensive assessment of potential award values or precise budget ranges. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements are evident from the provided details. The procurement appears focused on a critical public health initiative for school safety, ensuring rapid access to emergency medical intervention for potential anaphylactic events. Vendors interested in responding would need to demonstrate capability in medical supply procurement, distribution logistics, and compliance with educational institution medical supply regulations.
