The state and local contract opportunity, identified by the unique ID 67c6b2734b576289ce05d50c, is a procurement initiative for floor tile located in Giles County, Virginia. The specific procurement involves Tarkett VTC #1344 Floor Tile, with a posting date of October 14, 2009, and an immediate submission deadline of October 15, 2009. This extremely compressed timeline suggests an urgent procurement need for the specified flooring materials. The contract appears to be targeted at acquiring specific floor tile products for a county-level project or facility improvement. The procurement is specifically structured as a competitive solicitation, with the primary objective of securing high-quality floor tile from a qualified vendor who can meet the technical specifications of the Tarkett VTC #1344 product line. Given the brevity of the posting, detailed evaluation criteria and technical requirements are not explicitly outlined in the available information.

The contract opportunity is explicitly designated as a set-aside for small businesses, which significantly restricts the pool of potential bidders to smaller enterprise entities. This procurement approach aims to provide opportunities for smaller vendors and support local economic development within Virginia's small business community. The geographic specificity to Giles County further emphasizes a localized procurement strategy. While specific award values are not disclosed in the provided documentation, the set-aside designation and quick turnaround suggest a potentially modest project scope. The compressed timeline of just one day between posting and submission deadline indicates an expedited procurement process that requires immediate vendor responsiveness. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements for this floor tile procurement.
