FY17-OCTO-DELL COMPUTER AND ACCESSORIES (DHS)- DCSS Only

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is conducting a procurement for Dell computers and accessories specifically for the Department of Human Services (DHS) in fiscal year 2017. This contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c85a12829eb5d8690723a2, seeks to acquire computer hardware and related accessories to support the agency's technological infrastructure. The procurement was initially posted on February 13, 2017, with a relatively short response window closing on February 17, 2017. While specific technical requirements are not detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears focused on standardizing computer equipment for the DCSS (likely the District of Columbia Support Services) division. The tight timeline suggests this is a time-sensitive procurement aimed at quickly updating or replacing existing computer hardware. Potential vendors would need to demonstrate capability to provide Dell-specific computer equipment and accessories that meet the agency's technological specifications.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions based on the provided information. Without additional context, it is not possible to confirm whether this procurement includes preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participants. The procurement appears to be a standard technology acquisition for a municipal government agency, potentially representing a moderate-value contract for computer hardware. While the exact budget range is not specified, government technology procurements typically range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars depending on the scale of equipment needed. Interested vendors would likely need to demonstrate technical capabilities, provide competitive pricing, and have established relationships with Dell for computer and accessory supply. The extremely short response window of just four days indicates this may be a follow-up or urgent replacement procurement with pre-established vendor relationships.
