Showmobiles

The District of Columbia's Department of Parks and Recreation is seeking to procure two showmobiles through this state contract opportunity, specifically requesting one 20-foot and one 36-foot mobile unit for departmental use. The solicitation, identified by the contract ID 66c86041829eb5d8690767be, was initially posted on March 18, 2002, with an unusual due date listed as December 30, 1899. Potential bidders located within the Washington Metropolitan area are required to physically retrieve solicitation documents from a specified location, with specific attachments (J.3, J.4, and J.5) only available for in-person pickup and not electronically accessible. The procurement appears to be a direct equipment acquisition for mobile recreational programming or community engagement purposes. Interested vendors must carefully review the physical documentation and comply with the local pickup requirements to participate in the bidding process.

While specific details about set-aside designations or vendor restrictions are not explicitly provided in the available documentation, local metropolitan area businesses are clearly prioritized through the document retrieval requirements. The contract does not specify a listed incumbent vendor or provide explicit budget range information for the showmobiles. No clear evaluation criteria are outlined in the provided information, and there are no apparent indications of preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises. The unusual historical dates suggest this might be an archival or potentially deprecated procurement notice, which would require further verification with the District of Columbia's procurement office. Potential vendors would need to contact the department directly to confirm the current status and validity of this procurement opportunity.
