(Washington, DC) Herbert R. Tillery, Deputy Mayor for Operations and Interim Chief Procurement Officer for the District of Columbia Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP), announced today the reopening of three schedules on the DC Supply Schedule (DCSS).
The schedules, which are set aside for Local, Small, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (LSDBE), include the following:
- Information Technology Services, Equipment, and Software;
- Temporary Support Services; and
- Mission-Oriented Business Integrated Services (MOBIS).
"We encourage certified LSDBEs to apply for the recently reopened schedules," said Tillery. "It is important for companies to submit their applications early to ensure prompt consideration. The District is operating under a new LSDBE law which requires agencies to consider DCSS vendors as a first source for procurements under $100,000."
The DCSS is the city's multiple award schedule procurement program for providing commercial products and services to District government agencies.
An overview of the schedules includes the following:
- The Information Technology schedule seeks responses from certified companies offering IT services, equipment, and software to support District agencies.
- The Temporary Support Services schedule seeks responses from certified companies offering services to enable District agencies to augment staffing needs.
- The MOBIS schedule seeks responses from certified companies, which can provide services such as studies, analyses, and reports documenting developmental, consultative, or implementation efforts in support of the mission-related functions of District agencies.
