The Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for the TLSC-E/A Occupational Clothing Cleaning Contract, which is a non-personal service agreement managed by the U.S. Army to launder occupational clothing for its German Local National industrial workforce across various locations. The contract mandates the contractor to handle all aspects of service, including pick-up, laundering, and delivery of clothing, ensuring garments remain in usable condition. Key objectives include maintaining a strict quality control plan, addressing deficiencies promptly, and adhering to a scheduled bi-weekly pick-up and delivery system. The PWS emphasizes the use of a web-based information system for tracking garments and requires a thorough inventory process to manage losses. Quality standards and acceptable quality levels are clearly defined across all tasks, including garment labeling and service responsiveness, with a strong focus on maintaining safety, compliance with local laws, and government regulations. This document serves to ensure that governmental and operational standards are met while enhancing the operational readiness of the U.S. Army workforce in Europe and Africa.
