FY2023 - Youth Shoes - ( DCSS Preferred)

The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity for FY2023 Youth Shoes, specifically targeting the DC Social Services (DCSS) preferred procurement channel. This solicitation appears to be focused on procuring youth-specific footwear, potentially for social service program participants or youth-related initiatives. The procurement is time-sensitive, with a posting date of October 20, 2022, and a relatively short response window closing on October 24, 2022. While specific details about technical specifications, exact quantities, or precise delivery requirements are not fully elaborated in the provided information, the contract seems designed to meet youth-related footwear needs within District government social service programs. The compressed timeline suggests an urgent or strategic procurement process that requires quick vendor response and potential immediate product availability.

Based on the limited information provided, it is unclear whether this opportunity includes specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses or has explicit vendor restrictions. The contract opportunity does not specify detailed budget ranges or potential award values in the current documentation. The reference to "DCSS Preferred" might indicate some preferential consideration for vendors with prior experience in social service supply chains or those familiar with District of Columbia government procurement protocols. Without additional context, potential vendors should carefully review any supplemental procurement documents to understand full qualification requirements, technical specifications, and evaluation criteria. Interested suppliers would need to promptly review the complete solicitation details and prepare responsive submissions before the October 24, 2022 deadline to be considered for this youth shoes procurement opportunity.
