RQ917120 FL0-FY16-OAPT13178 DOC HSA Automated Medication Dispensing System

The District of Columbia is seeking proposals for RQ917120 FL0-FY16-OAPT13178, a procurement focused on an Automated Medication Dispensing System for the Department of Corrections (DOC) and Health Services Administration (HSA). This solicitation appears to target a comprehensive technological solution for medication management within correctional and healthcare facilities. The contract opportunity was initially posted on February 29, 2016, with a proposal submission deadline of March 3, 2016, indicating a very short response window. While specific technical requirements are not fully detailed in the provided excerpt, the procurement suggests a complex system designed to streamline medication distribution, tracking, and inventory management. The procurement appears to require vendors with specialized healthcare technology expertise, particularly in automated dispensing systems compatible with correctional and medical environments.

Based on the limited information available, no explicit set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions are immediately apparent. The contract seems targeted at technology providers with experience in healthcare and corrections medication management systems. The brevity of the posting window suggests this might have been a time-sensitive or urgent procurement need for the District of Columbia. Without additional context, precise budget ranges or incumbent vendor information cannot be definitively stated. The involvement of both the Department of Corrections and Health Services Administration implies a multi-agency implementation approach, which could potentially increase the contract's complexity and strategic importance. Vendors responding to this opportunity would likely need demonstrated capabilities in healthcare technology, medication tracking systems, and experience working with government healthcare and correctional institutions.
