Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C78623A50455

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Cemetery Administration (NCA) awarded Unifirst Corporation, a for-profit manufacturer of uniforms and facility services, a $5 million ceiling Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in August 2023 to provide nationwide uniform rental, laundry, and maintenance services to VA national cemeteries through August 2028. Under this BPA, the NCA has issued multiple task orders to Unifirst for uniform-related products and services at various VA cemetery locations, including in Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, and others. The BPA calls awarded to Unifirst have ceiling values ranging from $1,000 to $43,000 and cover periods of performance of approximately one year. Unifirst has a history of delivering uniform rental, cleaning, and replacement services as a prime contractor to the VA, Department of Defense, and Department of Treasury.

The purpose of this nationwide uniform BPA is to allow the NCA to obtain necessary uniform items, floor mats, laundry services, and related facility support on an as-needed basis from an experienced provider. This contract supports the NCA's mission of maintaining national cemeteries as national shrines to honor military service members. The BPA is a full and open competition award without any small business set-asides, reflecting Unifirst's capabilities and past performance as a prime uniform services provider to various federal agencies.
