1. The solicitation indicates that scrubs and surgical gowns are to be purchased by the Government and laundered by the contractor. However, during the site visit, we observed that these items are currently being processed on-site at the Durham VAMC. Could you please confirm whether scrubs and surgical gowns will: Surgical gowns are not currently processed onsite. Scrubs are currently processed onsite, but we want our contractor to clean them when needed.

Continue to be Government-purchased and laundered on-site by DVAMC staff, or Be transitioned into the contractor-provided rental/laundry scope under this solicitation? Transition to contract rental and launder.

2. The Government noted that the current linen par level inventory counts will be provided “at or immediately prior to contract award” to support transition planning. In order for offerors to accurately determine the necessary linen investment and ensure sufficient operational and emergency inventory levels, could the Government please provide the estimated daily or weekly par levels for each linen item prior to proposal submission?

Below is an estimated daily par. These numbers fluctuate.
