FY22-RFQ-dyrs-dcss-CBE fingerprint scanners for timeclock plus

The District of Columbia's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the procurement of fingerprint scanners to be integrated with Timeclock Plus, a time and attendance tracking system. The procurement appears focused on acquiring hardware specifically designed for workforce management and employee time tracking for the agency. The solicitation (ID: 66c85648829eb5d86906f734) was posted on October 29, 2021, with a strict response deadline of November 2, 2021, indicating an expedited procurement process. While specific technical requirements are not fully detailed in the provided information, the contract seems to require vendors capable of supplying fingerprint scanning hardware compatible with existing timekeeping infrastructure. The rapid turnaround time between posting and response deadline suggests an urgent operational need for these scanning devices, likely to enhance workforce management efficiency and access control within the DYRS system.

The solicitation appears to have a Community Business Enterprise (CBE) designation, which implies potential set-aside provisions or preferential considerations for local District of Columbia-based businesses. This CBE component suggests a potential preference for vendors who are locally registered and meet specific small business or minority-owned business criteria. While precise award value ranges are not specified in the provided information, government technology procurements of this nature typically range from $10,000 to $75,000 depending on the number of scanning devices and associated implementation costs. The fiscal year designation (FY22) indicates this is a budgeted procurement for the 2022 fiscal cycle. The integration requirement with Timeclock Plus suggests vendors must have demonstrated compatibility with workforce management software systems and potentially provide supporting installation or configuration services alongside the hardware procurement.
