FY22- Request for Quotation - Relic APM Pro-Set Aside for CBE Vendors

The District of Columbia has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for FY22 procurement of Relic APM Pro, specifically designated as a set-aside for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) vendors. This procurement appears to be focused on acquiring a specific technology or service related to the Relic Advanced Project Management (APM) system, with a notably short response window from December 7, 2021, to December 9, 2021. The extremely compressed timeline suggests an urgent or time-sensitive procurement need for the District. While detailed specifics about the exact deliverables are not provided in the available information, the RFQ indicates a targeted procurement for a specific technological solution or service. The procurement is being conducted directly by the District of Columbia government, with the contract opportunity identified by the unique state local contract opportunity ID 66c85639829eb5d86906f66e.

The contract opportunity is explicitly set aside for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) vendors, which indicates a strong local economic development and procurement diversity objective. This set-aside restricts participation to businesses that have been officially certified as CBEs by the District of Columbia, likely providing opportunities for local, small, or minority-owned businesses. Unfortunately, the provided information does not specify the exact award value, budget range, or any incumbent vendors currently providing similar services. The state ID associated with this procurement is 65a95d6ed947088ac30981ea, which further confirms its origin within the District of Columbia's procurement system. While additional details about integration requirements, specific technical specifications, or evaluation criteria are not present in the current documentation, the CBE set-aside suggests a deliberate approach to supporting local business ecosystems through procurement practices.
