Intent to Award Appeara 122169-O3 Ponca's Laundry.docx

This document is a Solicitation Notice of Intent to Award from the State of Nebraska's Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) for Ponca State Park's Laundry Services, solicitation number 122169-O3. The procurement seeks a comprehensive laundry service provider to manage linens and textiles for multiple park lodging facilities, including 4 rustic cabins, 10 year-round cabins, 15 four-bedroom mini-lodges, and 2 green cabins. The solicitation was released on August 8, 2025, with proposals due on August 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. The state intends to award the contract to Appeara, with an anticipated contract start date of October 1, 2025. The initial contract term is four years, with options to renew for two additional two-year periods.

The procurement requires a fixed-price contract without additional charges for travel or expenses, and vendors must provide precise linens with specific fabric compositions: 55% cotton/45% polyester for sheets and 80% cotton/20% polyester for towels. The cost structure involves vendors inputting unit prices for each item, with total extended amounts calculated by multiplying estimated annual quantities (ranging from 5,000 to 36,000 units across different item types). No specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions are mentioned. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission reserves the right to add or remove locations within the park during the contract period, providing flexibility in service delivery. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the detailed cost sheet and inventory requirements suggest a potentially significant annual contract value.
