FY20-FA0-Metal Name Tags, Retirement Badges

The District of Columbia government is seeking procurement for metal name tags and retirement badges, as indicated by the contract opportunity with ID 66c85795829eb5d869070540. This fiscal year 2020 procurement was initially posted on January 15, 2020, with a proposal submission deadline of January 21, 2020. The procurement appears to be focused on supplying specialized identification and recognition materials for government personnel, specifically metal-based name tags and retirement commemorative badges. While specific technical specifications are not detailed in the provided information, the contract suggests a need for high-quality, durable metallic identification products that meet government standards. The short turnaround time between posting and submission dates indicates an expedited procurement process, which may require vendors to be prepared to respond quickly and efficiently to the solicitation.

Given the limited information provided, it is challenging to definitively state set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions. However, as a District of Columbia government procurement, there is a likelihood of preferences for local businesses, small businesses, or disadvantaged business enterprises, which are common in municipal contracting. The procurement's relatively narrow scope and quick timeline suggest this may be a smaller-scale contract with potentially limited financial value. Vendors interested in responding would likely need capabilities in metal fabrication, engraving, and producing precision identification materials. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available data, potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, quality control processes, and the ability to meet government procurement requirements within the compressed timeline.
