The schedule consists of five Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) spanning from July 19, 2026, through July 18, 2031. This includes a one-year base period (CLIN 0001) followed by four consecutive one-year option periods (CLINs 1001 through 4001). Quoters must provide a single annual dollar amount for each period, culminating in a Total Evaluated Price. To complete the schedule, quoters must provide their business name, UEI/CAGE code, authorized representative details, signature, and contact information. Submitted pricing must be comprehensive, incorporating all operational costs such as transportation, subcontractor fees, supplies, overhead, and profit. All proposed rates must align with the inventory expectations and PAR levels defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and remain valid for the solicitation's acceptance period.

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) outlines the requirements for recurring, performance-based laundry and linen rental services for the Western Oregon Service Unit at the Chemawa Health Center in Salem, Oregon. The selected contractor must provide all personnel, transportation, equipment, cleaning agents, and textile inventories necessary to manage, launder, and maintain specific medical and staff apparel. The contract establishes strict Periodic Automatic Replenishment (PAR) levels for various items, including scrubs, dental and patient gowns, lab coats, and dental towels. Services include weekly pickup and delivery at a designated facility exterior door, high-standard laundering and sanitization, protective packaging, inventory management, and electronic invoicing via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP). To ensure clinic operations are not disrupted, the contractor must meet strict Quality Level standards. These require correcting missed pickups, replacing defective or stained items, and resolving re-performance requests within one to two business days. Additionally, the contractor must maintain robust contingency plans for vehicle or equipment failures, comply with OSHA infection control and bloodborne pathogen regulations, and protect patient privacy. The contract structure consists of a one-year base period starting July 19, 2026, with four subsequent one-year option periods extending through July 18, 2031. Performance monitoring will rely on service tickets, inspections, and customer feedback to ensure ongoing compliance with the PWS.
