OCP Procurement Forecast Lists Annual Buys for DC Agencies

(Washington, DC) The Office of Contracting and Procurement has made public the FY05 District-wide Procurement Forecast containing descriptions of tens of thousands of planned acquisitions by 60 agencies. The Procurement Forecast is a valuable planning tool for companies and professionals interested in doing business with the DC Government. The requirements may be sorted by the requesting agency, the National Institutes of Government Purchasing (NIGP) codes, and by the OCP commodity group assigned to make the purchase. The listings, in most cases, contain the name of the agency program manager responsible for placing the requirement. You may call (202) 727-1000 and ask to be connected to that person. The listings also contain the names of the OCP personnel responsible for making the purchase.

The Procurement Forecast contains information and dates that may change. OCP recommends that businesses continuously check the OCP website and select the Business Opportunities link for the most recent solicitations. Access the FY05 Procurement Forecast here.
