FY17 OCME Camera Equipment

The District of Columbia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) is seeking procurement of camera equipment through a competitive solicitation with a very short response window. The contract opportunity, identified by the state ID 66c859c4829eb5d869071fb6, was posted on July 11, 2017, with a critically tight proposal submission deadline of July 13, 2017 - just two days after posting. This procurement appears to be specifically focused on acquiring camera equipment for the medical examiner's office, though specific technical details about the required cameras are not provided in the available information. The brief procurement notice suggests this is likely a direct purchase or small procurement process targeting specialized imaging technology for forensic or investigative purposes. Given the extremely compressed timeline between posting and submission, potential vendors would need to act quickly and have immediate camera equipment capabilities ready for immediate review and potential contract award.

While the contract opportunity documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the brevity of the posting suggests this may be a targeted procurement with potential preferences for local or District of Columbia-based vendors. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are mentioned in the available information. The procurement appears to be a focused acquisition of camera equipment for the OCME, potentially representing a tactical technology refresh or replacement of existing imaging systems. The lack of detailed specifications in the initial posting indicates that interested vendors would likely need to quickly contact the District of Columbia procurement office for additional details about technical requirements, evaluation criteria, and specific camera specifications. Potential bidders would need to demonstrate rapid response capabilities, technical expertise in forensic or professional camera systems, and the ability to meet an extremely compressed procurement timeline.
