HA0 - FY23 - roving leader year round supplies (CBE, SBE vendors only)

The District of Columbia has released a state and local contract opportunity designated as HA0 - FY23 - ROVING LEADER YEAR ROUND SUPPLIES, specifically targeting the procurement of supplies for a Roving Leader program. This procurement is exclusively reserved for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors, with a narrow submission window from September 12, 2023, to September 15, 2023. The contract appears to focus on acquiring essential supplies needed to support year-round Roving Leader programming, likely for youth services or community outreach initiatives. While specific details about the exact nature of supplies are not fully elaborated, the procurement suggests a focused acquisition of materials necessary for consistent program implementation. The extremely short timeline between posting and submission deadline indicates an urgent procurement need, requiring vendors to be highly responsive and prepared to meet tight administrative requirements.

The contract opportunity has explicit vendor participation restrictions, limiting responses only to CBE and SBE vendors registered within the District of Columbia's procurement system. This designation suggests a strong local economic development component, prioritizing small and local business participation in government contracting. The set-aside nature of the procurement means that only qualifying businesses meeting specific certification criteria can submit proposals. While the exact budget range is not specified in the provided information, the focused nature of the procurement and its year-round supply designation implies a moderate-value contract designed to support ongoing programmatic needs. The specific solicitation number (66c854c6cac5fc795d0f5675) and state identification number (65a95d6ed947088ac30981ea) indicate a structured procurement process with clear tracking mechanisms for potential vendors.
