FY16-OCP- Office Supplies

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) has issued a state and local contract opportunity for office supplies in Fiscal Year 2016, with a notably abbreviated procurement timeline. The contract solicitation, identified by ID 66c85add829eb5d869072c18, was posted on June 13, 2016, with an extremely tight response deadline of June 14, 2016—just one day after posting. This procurement appears to be focused on acquiring standard office supplies for various district government departments and agencies. While specific details about the exact types and quantities of office supplies are not provided in the available information, typical procurements of this nature often include items such as paper, writing instruments, printer supplies, folders, and other standard office consumables. The exceptionally short turnaround time suggests this may be an urgent or streamlined procurement process requiring vendors to have immediate inventory and rapid response capabilities.

Given the limited information available, no specific set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are explicitly stated in the provided contract opportunity details. The brevity of the posting prevents a comprehensive assessment of potential disadvantaged enterprise requirements or preferences. Similarly, no incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technological infrastructure details are discernible from the provided information. Without additional context, it is not possible to definitively state potential award values or precise budget ranges for this office supplies procurement. The District of Columbia's extremely compressed procurement timeline of just 24 hours between posting and submission suggests this might be a small-scale or emergency procurement with potentially modest financial scope. Vendors interested in responding would need to have immediate availability of office supplies and the capability to quickly prepare and submit a proposal within an unusually condensed timeframe.
