HA0 - FY13 - folding chairs and tables (dcss vendors only)

The District of Columbia is seeking procurement of folding chairs and tables through a competitive solicitation specifically limited to DCSS (District of Columbia Supply Schedule) vendors. This procurement, identified by contract opportunity ID 66c85d65829eb5d869074986, is focused on acquiring furniture equipment for government use, with a narrow submission window from July 1, 2013, to July 3, 2013. The procurement appears to be a short-term, time-sensitive acquisition targeting standardized furniture inventory for municipal purposes. The procurement requires potential vendors to be pre-qualified through the DCSS vendor registration process, which implies a rigorous pre-screening of vendor capabilities and qualifications. The specific technical requirements, quantities, and precise specifications of the folding chairs and tables are not fully detailed in the provided documentation, suggesting that additional procurement materials would be necessary to understand the complete scope of the contract.

Given the restricted nature of this procurement to DCSS vendors, the opportunity is not open to all potential suppliers, which significantly narrows the competitive field. The contract appears to be a local government procurement with potential limitations on vendor participation based on prior registration and approval within the District of Columbia's supply system. While specific award values are not disclosed in the provided information, municipal furniture contracts typically range from modest to moderate dollar values depending on quantity and specific product specifications. The short timeline between posting and submission dates (July 1-3, 2013) indicates an expedited procurement process, which may suggest urgent replacement or supplementation of existing furniture inventory for District of Columbia agencies or facilities. The procurement's focus on folding chairs and tables implies potential use across multiple government departments, such as event services, community centers, or administrative facilities.
