The Department of Veterans Affairs is issuing a Sources Sought Notice to solicit market research for laundry services at the Lexington VA Medical Center. The goal is to find potential contractors capable of providing comprehensive linen and laundry services, including transportation and sanitation, adhering to industry standards like those set by NAILM and JCAHO. Key requirements include maintaining sanitary work conditions, conducting regular pickups and deliveries of linens, and ensuring adherence to safety and quality controls throughout the service process. Vendors must provide documentation outlining their business size, capabilities, and relevant certifications, especially if claiming small business status. The document emphasizes the importance of compliance with health and safety regulations, including training for contractor personnel, maintaining proper hygiene standards, and creating a contingency plan to handle unforeseen disruptions. Furthermore, the contractor will be required to deliver regular accountability reports and manage lost or damaged items efficiently. This notice serves as a pre-solicitation notification, as initial proposals will not be requested until the completion of market research, next steps will be communicated on the SAM.gov website. The goal is to establish a reliable partnership ensuring high-quality laundry services while supporting the operational needs of the Lexington VA Health Care System.
