This action, classified under NAICS code 811310 for Laundry and Dry-Cleaning Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance, was justified under FAR 12.203 and FAR 6.305 due to the urgent nature of the repair and the sole availability of one responsible source capable of responding immediately to maintain critical healthcare operations.

The work is performance-based at the Fargo facility, where restoration of laundry functionality is essential for patient care and facility hygiene, though specific technical specifications, deliverables, or performance metrics are not detailed in the public notice. The contracting officer, Dennis Salmonsen, is the primary point of contact, and while payment details are referenced to the Fort Meade, South Dakota office, the invoice processing method and accounting codes are not specified. The award notice confirms compliance with FAR 5.101 for public disclosure, but no formal inspection criteria, packaging requirements, contracting officer’s representative, technical representative, or special conditions beyond the sole-source justification are documented. The contractor’s unique entity identifier is listed, but its size status and socioeconomic certifications are not provided, and no Recovery Act funding was utilized.
