FY18 - HSEMA - Microsoft Surface Books and Accessories

The District of Columbia's Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency (HSEMA) is seeking to procure Microsoft Surface Books and associated accessories through this fiscal year 2018 contract opportunity. The procurement is specifically focused on acquiring computing hardware and peripherals for the agency's operational needs. The contract opportunity was posted on August 10, 2018, with a relatively tight response window, closing on August 15, 2018. Potential vendors are expected to provide detailed specifications for Microsoft Surface Books, including technical requirements, quantity, and compatibility with existing agency technology infrastructure. The short timeline suggests this is likely a time-sensitive procurement aimed at quickly fulfilling the agency's technology refresh or expansion requirements. Evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, but vendors can anticipate being assessed on technical specifications, pricing, delivery capabilities, and compliance with government procurement standards.

While specific set-aside designations are not clearly outlined in the provided contract details, District of Columbia procurements typically encourage participation from local, small, and disadvantaged business enterprises. The contract appears to be a standard technology procurement without explicit restrictions on vendor type. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. The budget range and potential award value are not specified in the contract opportunity description. Interested vendors would need to contact HSEMA directly for precise details on the expected volume of Surface Books and accessories, total contract value, and specific technical requirements. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate technical expertise in enterprise-level computing hardware procurement and the ability to meet government procurement protocols.
