IPA offers a comprehensive service and preventative maintenance program called coverCare designed to optimize the services. The system meets all requirements set forth by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) healthcare environmental cleaning services contract, The Joint Commission, Inspector General, and other applicable third-party regulatory entities.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: No additional actions will be taken to increase competition for this requirement. The Government will continue to conduct market research to ascertain if there are changes in the marketplace that would enable future actions to be competed.

7. Market Survey: Market Research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10 using Government databases. For further research, a sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov from July 3, 2024, to July 8, 2024. The government received a sole source letter from Julianne Smith (letter on file) that IPA is a sole manufacturer and developer of IPA ScrubEx equipment. On 8 July 2024, the Government received an email from L1 Enterprises that they are exclusive verified Service- Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and they are the only IPA’s government distributor as an authorized source for this service. Therefore, this requirement will be sole sourced to L1 Enterprises LLC.
