Request for Quotation-DCPO-2012-Q-0330-MPD-RQ736565-DISASTER RECOVERY PLANNING SOFTWARE-AM-01

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement, acting on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for disaster recovery planning software. The procurement seeks a comprehensive contractor to provide a plan development tool with integrated capabilities including document management, survey data collection, and flexible reporting functionalities. This specific procurement (Contract ID: DCPO-2012-Q-0330-MPD-RQ736565) is designed to enhance the city's continuity and disaster recovery planning capabilities. The solicitation was posted on January 5, 2012, with a remarkably short response window, requiring submissions by January 9, 2012 - a mere four-day period for potential vendors to prepare and submit their quotations. The primary objective appears to be acquiring software that can streamline and improve the MPD's emergency preparedness documentation and planning processes, with an emphasis on creating adaptable, user-friendly tools for comprehensive disaster recovery strategy development.

While specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the brevity of the solicitation suggests a potentially competitive and time-sensitive procurement process. No incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement does not specify a precise budget range or award value, which may indicate flexibility in vendor pricing and solution approaches. The short response timeline implies an urgent need for the disaster recovery planning software, potentially suggesting that the MPD requires immediate implementation of enhanced planning tools. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate rapid deployment capabilities, robust software functionality, and a clear understanding of municipal emergency preparedness documentation requirements to be competitive in this procurement opportunity.
