FY17 octo - security handles for cabinets - dcss preferred vendor

The District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) is seeking a preferred vendor for security handles for cabinets in a procurement designated as FY17. The contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 66c859d0829eb5d869072052, was posted on June 21, 2017, with a remarkably short response window closing on June 23, 2017. This procurement appears to be focused on supplying specialized security hardware specifically for cabinet installations within District of Columbia government facilities. The brief posting suggests this is a targeted procurement for specific security infrastructure components, likely related to securing sensitive documents or equipment within government offices. The extremely compressed timeline between posting and closing dates indicates an urgent or time-sensitive procurement need, which may require vendors to have immediate product availability and quick response capabilities.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, government procurements often have preferences for local, small, or disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract's focus on security handles implies potential opportunities for vendors specializing in security hardware or government infrastructure supplies. No incumbent vendors or specific budget ranges are mentioned in the available details. The procurement appears to be managed directly by the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Technology Officer, suggesting a centralized purchasing approach for this specific security equipment need. Potential vendors would likely need to demonstrate technical capability to provide security handles that meet government specification standards, though specific technical requirements are not elaborated in the available contract opportunity description.
