Safe Sex Products Condoms and Lubricant Packets

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement, specifically on behalf of the Department of Health HIV/AIDS Administration, is seeking a qualified primary manufacturer or certified authorized agent to supply and deliver sexual health products. The procurement opportunity involves an annual procurement of approximately three million lubricated latex condoms and one million lubricant packets, to be distributed across multiple locations throughout the District of Columbia. The solicitation requires vendors to be either the primary manufacturer of these products or a certified authorized representative with direct manufacturing connections. Potential respondents must demonstrate the capability to consistently fulfill large-volume distribution requirements for sexual health products. The contract appears designed to support public health initiatives related to HIV/AIDS prevention and sexual health education. The initial posting date was April 30, 2008, with an unusual due date listed as December 30, 1899, which may indicate a data entry error in the original document.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, the procurement appears focused on ensuring a reliable supply chain for critical public health products. The contract seems intended to support broad community health objectives through consistent condom and lubricant packet distribution. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the available information. The annual volume suggests a significant procurement with potentially substantial contract value, estimated at potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars based on the three million condom and one million lubricant packet quantities. The procurement appears aimed at supporting comprehensive sexual health strategies across the District of Columbia, with a focus on HIV/AIDS prevention and sexual health resource distribution. Interested vendors would need to demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, distribution logistics, and ability to meet large-volume public health product procurement requirements.
