Vehicle Wash Facility Maintenance Services, IAD

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority is awarding a sole-source contract to InterClean Equipment, LLC for the preventive and corrective maintenance of the vehicle washing apparatus and related systems at Washington Dulles International Airport. This procurement is justified under proprietary rights, as InterClean is the original equipment manufacturer and installer of the system, possessing exclusive access to patented hardware, proprietary software, and restricted technical data that prevent other vendors from legally or technically servicing the equipment. The contract has an estimated value of $170,000, covering one base year and one option year, with no competitive bidding due to the technical exclusivity of the vendor. All necessary resources—including labor, materials, tools, equipment, parts, transportation, and incidental expenses—must be furnished by InterClean to ensure uninterrupted, compliant operation of the facility. Performance is required on-site at IAD, with acceptance responsibility resting with the Airports Authority based on adherence to OEM specifications rather than external standards. The contract does not include detailed pricing line items, payment instructions, or formal FAR clauses, and while a contracting officer and procurement manager are identified, no contracting officer’s representative is named. The award is based on operational necessity, high technical risk from non-OEM service, and validation of pricing as fair and reasonable. No socioeconomic set-asides apply, and while the vendor’s UEI or CAGE code is not provided, the procurement follows the authority of Contracting Manual Section 3.8.5.1(2) corresponding to FAR 6.302-1. No security clearances, organizational conflict of interest provisions, or packaging requirements are specified, and submission was to be made via a completed justification form without detailed format instructions, with a deadline of August 14, 2026, for responses prior to the anticipated award date of July 24, 2026.
