SET-A-SIDE SWAM Business Theatre Lighting Equipment

The state and local contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 67c6b5444b576289ce05db80, is a procurement initiated by Fairfax City in Virginia for theatre lighting equipment. The specific solicitation, titled "SET-A-SIDE SWAM Business Theatre Lighting Equipment," was posted on July 22, 2009, with a submission deadline of July 24, 2009. This procurement appears to be focused on acquiring specialized theatrical lighting infrastructure and associated equipment for a municipal or public performance venue. The extremely short window between posting and submission dates suggests an urgent or time-sensitive procurement process. While specific technical details are limited in the provided information, the contract seems to require vendors to provide comprehensive theatre lighting solutions that meet municipal equipment standards.

The contract appears to have a specific set-aside designation for Small, Women-owned, and Minority-owned (SWAM) businesses, which restricts potential bidders to qualified businesses meeting these enterprise classification criteria. This procurement approach aims to promote diversity and provide opportunities for historically underrepresented business types in government contracting. The set-aside designation indicates a deliberate effort by Fairfax City to support local and diverse business participation in municipal procurement. Unfortunately, specific budget ranges or estimated contract values are not provided in the available documentation. The brevity of the posting and limited contextual information suggest this might be a targeted, specific procurement with precise equipment requirements for a local theatrical or performance infrastructure project.
