NIGP 95864: Laundry Management Services

NIGP 95864 Laundry Management Services is an Item code covering professional laundering, uniform rental, and related logistical services that state and local governments procure for employee workforces across operational facilities. State and local buyers under this code contract for full-service laundry operations including cleaning, repair, inventory management, pick-up and delivery, electronic tracking systems, and locker provision — typically bundled as turnkey uniform rental programs rather than discrete commodity purchases. Issuing bodies include municipal departments (water, wastewater, public works), cities, and counties. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department represents the recent activity in this code, soliciting professional laundering and uniform rental services for 19 facilities across four Arizona jurisdictions under a five-year fixed-price contract commencing December 1, 2026, with evaluation weighted toward method of approach (44.7%), capabilities and capacity (27.6%), experience (15.3%), and cost (12.4%). The solicitation requires five years of prior equivalent experience, ASTM F1449 compliance for flame-resistant uniform processing, 98 percent scan accuracy on electronic tracking systems, repair services for specified damage, and monthly performance reporting. DBE small business participation requirements and monthly tracking apply.

The code shows activity concentrated in Arizona, with the City of Phoenix RFP RFPGGS260384 due October 22, 2026 representing the most recent substantial opportunity in this space. Geographic spread across recent activity is limited, with no additional representative opportunities in the source supporting other states or regions. The issuing-body mix remains narrow within the recent-opportunity window, reflecting that laundry management services are procured by a subset of municipal departments with uniform-wearing workforces and significant facility operations. Pricing submissions must remain firm and fixed for 180 calendar days from the solicitation opening date. Pre-offer conference scheduling and monthly performance reviews with termination-for-cause provisions are standard contract governance mechanisms in current solicitations.
