V 1.6 (20 December 2023)

MFR G-4 is establishing a launder and repair capability at the RISA to gain parity with the Active Component Forces. The make/model of Washer-Extractor and Dryer are the same as what is being used at the Consolidated Storage Program (CSP) location MCAS Miramar, CA and is SKU: UWT130V40VQ050EA00 & SKU: UT170NVN0RQA6W0000.

This equipment has been shown to meet the requirements for laundering the volume of Individual Combat Clothing Equipment (ICCE) that MFR G-4 expects to continuously process through the RISA. Most importantly, the civilian personnel who will be contracted to perform this function is already trained on the proper use of this equipment.

C. ___URGENT AND COMPELLING. The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits bids or proposals. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in a work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would result in injury to the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above item/service is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was first identified:

2. Required delivery date/period of performance:
