The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Army, has issued a combined synopsis and solicitation (W564KV-24-R-0055) for commercial laundry and dry-cleaning services across multiple US Army Garrisons (USAGs) in Germany. This procurement process is open to all eligible vendors through a full and open competition.
The Army seeks a single contractor to deliver efficient laundry and dry-cleaning operations, managed through designated Troop Collection Points (TCPs) outlined in each task order. The focus is on ensuring customer satisfaction and mission support, with an emphasis on extended operating hours.
The contract is structured as an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) arrangement, where the government issues task orders for specific services. It is expected to cover multiple clothing and equipment requirements, including specialized items like tactical gear and medical textiles.
The contractor must operate TCPs during specified hours, managing the collection, processing, and delivery of laundry and dry-cleaning items. They are responsible for all resources required for these operations, apart from the government-provided facilities, equipment, and utilities. Adherence to strict quality standards and security protocols on Army installations is essential.
For this complex project, the Army prioritizes vendors with relevant experience and successful performance of similar work. Offerors must submit a detailed experience questionnaire, showcasing their suitability.
The solicitation also emphasizes the evaluation criteria, which includes the technical merit and past performance of potential vendors, with price being a crucial consideration. The contract will be firm-fixed-price and is estimated to be valued at over €11 million.
Vendors interested in this opportunity must register with the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) and System for Award Management (SAM), and ensure their submissions include all required representations and certifications. The submission deadline has been extended to 9:00 AM on August 8, 2024, and proposals should be emailed to the specified contacts.
Questions regarding this solicitation should be directed to the Contract Specialist, Kim Conway, or the Contracting Officer, Edwin Roldan, ensuring a 10-business-day window prior to the proposal deadline.
