Date: 13 August 2024

Question 1: Do you know the dimensions of the rags and the weight?

Answer 1:

Question 2: Is there a rag specification (size) for the needed 250 rags?

Answer 2:

Approximately 8 x 11 inches low lint 100% cotton fabric material.

Question 3: SOW-2.2.1 states that: The contractor shall coordinate a pickup date with LRS during the first week of each month and will return the clean items upon pickup of dirty items the following month. 250 dirty rags will be collected at the start of this service. The contractor will pick up 250 soiled rags and replace with 250 clean rags unsaturated with JP-8, diesel, and/or oil products (except gas due to benzene (D018) contract). The shop rags will be free from liquid, grease, or other contaminates.

a. Just to clarify, the first pick-up is provided by the government and the first replacement is the 250 rags required on the SOW. Is this correct?

Answer 3:

Roughly 8in x 11in

The rags will be provided by the government. Upon written notification of unserviceable rags we will provide serviceable rags to add to the rotation.

Question 4: What is the expected weight of each monthly pick-up (44 coveralls and 250 rags)?

Answer 4:

Question 5: Is there an incumbent for this solicitation?

Answer 5:

There is no incumbent for this solicitation.

Question 6: Is the Biweekly every other week or twice a week and for the uniforms, is it 22 pants 22 shirts the total needed or is it every week for 2 employees.

And how many total employees?

Answer 6:

The requirement is not bi-weekly, as stated in the SOW (2.3.1) it is to be picked up and/delivered monthly. The need is neither for shirts nor pants. Please refer to the SOW 2.1 Coverall Rental and Washing (CLIN 0001): The Contractor shall provide 110 coveralls with name tapes, and laundry tags to identify who each coverall is assigned to. See Appendix 1 for requested names and sizes. Quantities subject to change due to turnover of personnel. Sizes subject to change due to turnover of personnel.

And 2.1.2: The contractor shall coordinate a pickup date with LRS during the first week of each month and will return the clean items upon pickup of dirty items the following month. Each month the contractor shall pick up 44 soiled coveralls (2 per 22 mechanics) and replace with 44 cleaned coveralls. The coveralls should be free from stains, chemicals, and holes.

So, the total needed for pickup and replacement each month will be 44 coveralls, for a total of 22 employees.

Question 7: I was reaching out to see if the vendor could provide weekly services instead of monthly?

Answer 7:

We do not currently have the specifications for the coveralls being issued so we are unable to provide the coverall weight. The rag weight will be roughly 50lbs this will fluctuate based on saturation and the contaminates.

We wrote the contract for monthly services because the amount of soiled items did not constitute weekly cleaning. This was also in an effort to keep costs down.

As stated in the SOW (2.3.1) it is to be picked up and/delivered monthly.
