FY19 - CF0 - OYP - MBYLI Summer Intensive Training Shirts

The District of Columbia is seeking procurement for FY19 Summer Intensive Training Shirts through the Office of Youth Programs (OYP), with a specific contract opportunity focused on manufacturing and supplying custom shirts. The procurement appears to be a targeted solicitation for summer program merchandise, with a brief and compressed timeline indicated by the posting date of May 28, 2019, and an immediate due date of May 31, 2019. The contract specifically involves the procurement of MBYLI (likely an acronym for a youth program) Summer Intensive Training Shirts, suggesting a specialized apparel order for a specific youth-focused initiative. The extremely short window between posting and submission dates implies an urgent procurement need, potentially requiring vendors to have rapid production capabilities and immediate shirt design and manufacturing readiness. The solicitation appears to be a direct procurement requiring vendors to provide shirts that meet specific design, sizing, and quality specifications for a youth summer program.

While specific details about set-aside designations are not explicitly provided, local government contracts often have preferences for small, minority-owned, or local District of Columbia businesses. The contract opportunity suggests potential opportunities for local vendors with capabilities in textile production, custom apparel design, and quick turnaround manufacturing. The brevity of the contract details prevents a comprehensive assessment of potential award values, though the scope appears to be for a limited shirt production run for a summer youth program. Potential respondents would likely need demonstrated experience in custom apparel production, ability to meet rapid turnaround times, and capability to produce shirts meeting specific programmatic requirements. The contract seems structured for direct procurement without extensive competitive bidding processes, given the compressed timeline and specific programmatic focus.
