About this file
This is an Amendment 1 document for Solicitation 75N94025Q00055, addressing a laundry services and lab coat rental contract for the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Animal Facility. The solicitation requires maintaining 200 lab coats on-site, with a suggested total circulation of 400 coats, and seeks competitive proposals for protective apparel rental services. Key specifications include white lab coats made from traditional materials (100% cotton or polyester/cotton blend), with an "OLAS" text label placed on the left chest, and flexible labeling methods including embroidery, screen-printing, or sewn patches.
The solicitation is issued by the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, with electronic quotation submissions due by 4/9/2025 at 5:00 PM EST to Jacob Balenson. Pricing should be firm-fixed price, with quotes clearly indicating total costs for the base year and four option years. No specific incumbent exists, and this is a new requirement. Offerors must have active SAM registration, and the government will provide on-site storage shelves for the lab coats. The exact sizes and quantities of lab coats may be adjusted post-award to accommodate personnel needs.
