The Health Readiness Contracting Office (HRCO) is conducting Market Research necessary to meet the requirements for military treatment facilities (MTFs) throughout the Continental United States (CONUS) for linen rental and laundry services on a case by case basis to include delivery and pick up from designated locations. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to obtain information on qualified contractors who are capable of and willing to provide rental linen (to include scrubs) and laundry services on an as needed basis. This requirement is in a medical or hospital environment. Responses to this RFI are strictly voluntary and considered as information only. The government will not pay respondents for information provided in response to this RFI. Responses to this RFI will not be returned and respondents will not be notified of the results. If a solicitation is issued, it will be announced on the beta.SAM.gov website at a later date, and all interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from any response to this announcement. This RFI will not restrict the government's acquisition on a future solicitation. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this service is 812331 - Linen Supply (Small Business Size Standard-$35M). Interested contractors must provide the information below to the points of contact listed herein.

The government reserves the right to set this acquisition aside for small business, 8(a), HUBZone small business, Women-Owned or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business firms based on the responses it receives. This request for information (RFI) notice is issued for planning purposes. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). Responses to this notice will assist the Government in identifying potential sources and determining if a set-aside of the solicitation is appropriate. This notice does not obligate the Government to award a contract, issue a solicitation, or pay for any proposal preparation costs. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
