Garment Identification and Tracking System

The contract is for the implementation and management of a barcode or RFID-based tracking system designed to oversee the entire lifecycle of uniforms, encompassing issuance, returns, repairs, and comprehensive inventory reporting. The system must provide accurate, real-time visibility into garment movement and status to ensure efficient logistics, reduce loss or misplacement, and support regulatory and operational compliance. This is a subcontract under an 8(a) competed set-aside, indicating the prime contractor must be a small disadvantaged business certified under the SBA's 8(a) program, and the work is intended to foster economic opportunity within this category. The solicitation is issued by the Department of Health and Human Services through its NIH A E Construction office, with performance required at Bethesda, Maryland, 20892. The North American Industry Classification System code is 541512, which corresponds to computer systems design and related services, aligning the scope with technology-driven solutions in asset tracking. The response deadline was June 17, 2026, and the posting date is July 6, 2026, suggesting a possible administrative or system error in dates, but the requirement remains active as advertised. The contract demands robust system integration, durability in high-use environments, and reliable reporting capabilities to support inventory accuracy and audit readiness across the facility.
