The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity identified as HA0 - FY14 - LIFEGUARD SUPPLIES, seeking procurement of lifeguard-related equipment and materials. The contract appears to be focused on supplying essential safety and operational supplies for lifeguard services, potentially for municipal pools, recreational facilities, or aquatic centers. The procurement was initially posted on January 28, 2014, with a short response window closing on January 31, 2014, indicating an urgent or time-sensitive acquisition process. While specific details about the exact nature of lifeguard supplies are limited in the provided documentation, the contract likely encompasses items such as rescue equipment, personal protective gear, communication devices, first aid supplies, and potentially uniforms or specialized safety technology. The abbreviated timeline suggests this was a rapid procurement cycle, potentially to prepare for upcoming seasonal lifeguard operations or to replace critical safety inventory.

Given the limited information provided, it is challenging to definitively state set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions for this contract. The procurement does not explicitly indicate whether it is reserved for disadvantaged business enterprises, small businesses, or local District of Columbia vendors. No incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure details are visible in the available contract documentation. The contract's state ID (65a95d6ed947088ac30981ea) and opportunity ID (66c85ce7829eb5d8690743fe) suggest this is an official District of Columbia government procurement, which typically follows standard municipal purchasing guidelines. While the exact budget range is not specified, municipal lifeguard supply contracts often range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the comprehensiveness of the equipment and the scale of the acquiring jurisdiction's aquatic facilities.
