This a Request for Proposal (RFP)/Solicitation to provide healthcare housekeeping services in support of General Leonard Wood Army Community Hospital (GLWACH),and multiple medical treatment facilities (MTF) in the health service area of GLWACH, Fort Leonard Wood, MO. This acquisition is solicited as an 8(a) set-aside under other than full and open competition in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.204(a). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code for this solicitation is 561720. This solicitation will be awarded using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable evaluation criteria. The agency proposes to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract under which Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders for healthcare housekeeping services will be issued. An IDIQ contract is the optimum contract type for this effort as an exact quantity and/or appropriate categorization of services (Type Ill, IV, V, etc.) cannot be determined on a MTF-specific, individual room basis at the time of contract award. The resultant FFP task orders issued against the IDIQ will clearly describe GLWACH MTF-specific healthcare housekeeping requirements and services to be performed and provide for prices that will not be subject to any adjustment on the basis of the 8(a) contractor's cost experience in performing this contract. All services shall be firm-fixed price and subject to the Service Contract Act (41 U.S.C. 351). The solicitation and subsequent contract will include contract line items (CLINS) with five-year ordering periods. The anticipated IDIQ contract will obligate the government to the minimum guarantee of $1,500.00 for post-award conference. The entire amount of the minimum guarantee will be obligated against FY 14 funds. Further obligations will arise as task orders are awarded and obligations will be charged to the fiscal year in which the order is placed. Healthcare housekeeping services are required for 60 months starting 1 Sep 2014 through 31 Aug 2019. All elements of the RFP shall be submitted by the Offeror with a proposal no later than the date/time shown in block 8 of the Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/Contract Order for Commercial Items. Services include healthcare housekeeping services; collection of regulated medical waste (RMW); and collection and distribution of linen. The square feet (SF) for cleaning of each MTF is varied; however, the estimated SF for GLWACH MTF, and the collective MTFs located in the health service area of GLWACH MTF, currently receiving services under the existing contract is 406,408 SF.
