FY2018 - Office Supplies - (1) year BPA - DCSS Only

The District of Columbia is soliciting a one-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for office supplies, specifically targeting DCSS (District of Columbia Support Services) procurement needs. This procurement opportunity, identified by the contract ID 66c85970829eb5d869071b76, was posted on November 15, 2017, with a relatively short response window closing on November 20, 2017. The contract appears focused on standardizing and streamlining office supply procurement for district agencies, likely seeking a vendor capable of providing comprehensive office supply solutions. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, typical requirements for such procurements would likely include vendor capacity, pricing structure, delivery capabilities, and product quality. The compact timeline suggests an expedited procurement process, indicating potential urgency in replacing or establishing a new office supply vendor for district operations.

Given the limited information provided, it is not possible to definitively state set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions. However, local government contracts often prioritize local businesses, small businesses, or disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) in their procurement processes. The brevity of the contract description prevents confirmation of potential award values or precise budget ranges. The procurement appears limited to DCSS, which implies a targeted, potentially smaller-scale contract compared to broader citywide office supply agreements. Without additional context, potential vendors would need to contact the District of Columbia procurement office directly to obtain comprehensive details about participation requirements, vendor qualifications, and specific procurement guidelines. The November 20, 2017 due date suggests this was a time-sensitive procurement opportunity with a narrow window for vendor response.
