Description

Page 3 of 3 THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL OR QUOTE; THE VA IS NOT SEEKING PRICING OR OFFERS. The Department of Veterans Affairs, VISN 20, in support of Boise Veteran Affairs Medical Center, Boise, ID is currently requesting information in order to determine the existence of viable commercial sources capable of providing Laundry Services. The intended contract period of performance is for one (1) year. Description of Services: The Contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, management, supplies, and facilities necessary to perform Contractor owned/Contractor operated bulk laundry services and tasks required for the Boise Veteran Affairs Medical Center, 500 West Fort Street, Boise ID. All services are to be performed in accordance with standard industry practices and quality control measures. The VA Medical Center will maintain and be responsible to provide all linen and repair/replacement services, unless damage/loss is caused by the Contractor. All workmanship shall be in accordance with practices established by the National Association of Institutional Linen Management (NAILM), International Fabricare Institute (1FI), Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA), and accepted industry standards. It is intended that services shall include all processes necessary for the laundering of the articles even though every step involved is not specifically mentioned. All work shall be performed under sanitary conditions as specified by the Joint Commission. Physical separation of clean and dirty linen is required. In no case, shall clean and soiled linen share the same physical space. Plants in which the work is done shall be open to inspection of sanitary conditions by Government representatives. After processing, laundered articles shall be in serviceable and sanitary condition, meeting established quality and performance requirement standards. *The Laundry Plant layout/design should incorporate a "design for asepsis" whereby clean linen does not come into contact with soiled linens nor share the same physical space, thus avoiding cross-contamination or reintroduction of bacteria once processed. *The laundry ventilation system shall be designed for asepsis whereby air flows from clean textile areas (positive pressure) to soiled areas (negative pressure) and is exhausted to the outside atmosphere. Physical separation of the soil-sort area is required in order to limit the potential for contamination of personnel or clean, processed textiles. Exhausting air to the outdoors prevents reintroduction of contaminants onto clean items and into clean work areas. The NAICS code assigned is: 812320 Dry-cleaning and Laundry Services (except Coin-Operated) and the small business size standard is $5.5 million. The Government is not soliciting offers at this time, and it will be the Contracting Officer who will determine which suggested changes are accepted. This is a sources sought notice to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources. A solicitation is not currently available. Responses to this request will be considered for the purpose of determining how the requirements will be stated and how the procurement will be conducted.
