KG0-FY16- Reusable Bags (DCSS Vendors Only)

The District of Columbia has issued a state and local contract opportunity (ID: 66c85b62829eb5d869073246) specifically for procuring reusable bags, with a focused solicitation limited to current District of Columbia Supplemental Services (DCSS) vendors. The procurement, identified as KG0-FY16, appears to be a targeted acquisition of reusable bags, likely for municipal or departmental use. The contract opportunity was posted on October 8, 2015, with a critical submission deadline of October 23, 2015, indicating a relatively short window for vendor response. While specific technical specifications and detailed deliverables are not explicitly stated in the provided information, the procurement suggests a requirement for high-quality, reusable bags that meet municipal standards. The procurement seems to be structured as a competitive solicitation exclusively for pre-approved DCSS vendors, which implies a pre-qualification process has already been completed for potential bidders.

The contract opportunity appears to be restricted to existing DCSS vendors, which effectively limits the competitive pool to only those organizations currently approved and registered within the District of Columbia's vendor system. This restriction suggests a preference for established local vendors with proven performance histories. Without additional details provided, it is challenging to definitively state the precise award value or budget range for this procurement. However, the focused nature of the solicitation and the specific vendor limitation indicate a targeted, potentially smaller-scale procurement. The October 2015 posting date suggests this was part of a fiscal year 2016 procurement cycle, which may have implications for budget allocation and vendor selection. The exclusivity of the solicitation to DCSS vendors underscores the District's commitment to working with pre-vetted, potentially local or disadvantaged business enterprises within its existing vendor ecosystem.
