1.1.1. This document contains the technical provisions for laundry/linen services to be provided at the Naval Health Clinic in Goose Creek, SC and the Dental Clinic.

1.1.2. The work required by this Performance Work Statement (PWS), consists of furnishing the physical laundry plant (at an off-site location), all labor, supervision, management, management support, supplies, commonized linen and textile items (Technical Exhibit 1) ancillary equipment, vehicles and materials necessary for accomplishment of complete laundry/linen services, as described in Section 5.

1.1.2.1.

1.1.3. Commonized linen services will be provided by the Contractor as described in Section 6.4, Commonized Linen Services and Specifications. This includes scheduled visits to each facility to conduct linen utilization reviews, inventories, establishing and revising linen quotas, providing in-service and an on-line linen ordering system (electronically). This will benefit both the facility and contractor in executing a linen management program, maintaining cost and customer satisfaction.

1.1.4. All workmanship shall be in accordance with practices/guidelines established by the National Association of Institutional Linen Management (NAILM), International Fabricare Institute (IFI), Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) and accepted industry standards. It is intended that services shall include all processes necessary for the laundering and finishing of the articles even though every step involved is not specifically mentioned. Facilities shall meet The Joint Commission (TJC) and Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council (HLAC) standards and all work shall be performed to these standards. Physical separation, through the presence of a barrier wall and the use of pass-through equipment is required to maintain positive air pressure in the clean section relative to a negative air pressure in the soiled section. In no case shall clean and soiled linen share the same physical space. The Laundry Plant layout/design should incorporate a “design for asepsis” whereby clean linen neither comes into contact with soiled linens nor shares the same physical space, thus avoiding cross-contamination and/or reintroduction of bacteria once processed. Plants in which the work is done shall be open to inspection of sanitary conditions by Government representatives. After processing, laundered articles shall be in serviceable and sanitary condition, meeting established quality and performance requirement standards.

1.1.5. Any change of function by the Government, which may affect this contract as contemplated by this paragraph, and which requires permanent adjustments in frequency or type of performance, will be coordinated with the Contractor by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer (KO) prior to initiation of such a change to assure adequate contractual coverage.

1.1.6. Notwithstanding the provisions of the contract covering inspection, acceptance, and deduction from payment, any items found to have been unsatisfactorily cleaned shall be re-cleaned at no additional cost to the Government. Such items shall be identified, for Contractor recognition, by the COR when they are returned on the next scheduled pickup after an unsatisfactory condition is discovered.

1.1.7. Scheduled services are to be accomplished subject to emergency situations, which may require alteration of schedules. Emergency situations will be defined by the COR. In the event of Medical Facility emergencies, disaster, or drills, the Contractor shall perform all laundry/linen services required by the Medical Facility.

1.1.8. This specification is intended to produce minimal acceptable level of performance. The Government does recognize the possibility of the Contractor achieving the same or improved results due to innovative approaches, advances in the state-of-the-art materials, equipment and supplies. Accordingly, provision is hereby made for alterations when a Contractor demonstrates the ability to maintain the standards established herein through use of improved techniques, materials, scheduling, etc. All changes are contingent upon the recommendations of the COR and the approval of the KO or other management official as may be deemed appropriate.

DEFENSE BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (DBIDS)

The Contractor shall be required to enroll in the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) for Base Access.

If you were issued an NCACS credential PRIOR to 17 April 2017, your NCACS credential will remain in effect for base access through 14 August 2017, when NCACS credentials will no longer be valid.

Only DBIDS credentials will be issued to ALL Contractors, vendors and suppliers seeking base access AFTER 30 June 2017.

Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) increases installation security and communications by receiving frequent database updates on changes to personnel/credential status, law enforcement warrants, lost/stolen cards, and force protection conditions. The system provides a continuous vetting anytime the DBIDS card is scanned at an installation entry point.

· If you currently have a Navy Commercial Access Control System (NCACS) card, the following is required to get a DBIDS credential:

· Present your NCACS Card and a completed copy of the SECNAV FORM 5512/1 to the base Visitor Control Center representative.

· The VCC will retrieve your information in the computer, ensuring all information is current and correct.

· Once your information is validated, a temporary DBIDS credential is provided.

· Your temporary credential will have an expiration date, prior to which you will need to obtain your permanent DBIDS credential (~ 180 days).

· For each additional U.S. Navy installation to which you need access, the first time you visit you only need to bring your DBIDS credential and statement of purpose for base access when arriving at the Visitor Control Center.

· The representative will enter base access authorization and then you may proceed to work.

If you do NOT have an NCACS Card, the following is required to obtain a DBIDS credential:

· Present a letter or official document from my government sponsoring organization that provides the purpose for your access.

· Present valid identification, such as a passport or Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license.

· Present a completed copy of the SECNAV 5512/1 form to obtain your background check.

· Upon completion of the background check, the Visitor Control Center representative will complete the DBIDS enrollment process, which includes your photo, finger prints, base restrictions, and several other assessments; after all this is done, you will be provided with your new DBIDS credential.

· You may now proceed to work.
