KG0-FY16-SSD Hazmat Equipment- Emerfgency Response- DCSS Vendors

The District of Columbia is seeking proposals for a hazardous materials (Hazmat) equipment procurement for emergency response purposes, specifically targeting District of Columbia Shared Services (DCSS) vendors. This contract opportunity, identified by the solicitation number KG0-FY16-SSD, appears to be focused on acquiring specialized emergency response equipment designed for hazardous materials incident management. The procurement was initially posted on July 25, 2016, with a remarkably tight response window, closing on July 28, 2016 - indicating an urgent acquisition timeline. While specific technical details are limited in the provided information, the contract seems designed to enhance the District's emergency preparedness and response capabilities through targeted equipment procurement. The solicitation appears to be structured for pre-qualified vendors within the DCSS vendor network, suggesting potential pre-existing relationships or qualification requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions based on the available information. Without additional context, it is challenging to definitively state disadvantaged enterprise requirements or integration specifications. The brief description suggests this is likely a tactical procurement targeting existing, approved vendors within the District of Columbia's established procurement ecosystem. The extremely compressed timeline (three days between posting and closing) implies this may be a urgent, strategically time-sensitive acquisition with potentially expedited review processes. While precise budget ranges are not specified, emergency response and hazardous materials equipment typically represents a significant municipal investment, potentially ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars depending on the specific equipment requirements and scale of procurement.
