About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for laundry and rug services at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota. The agency plans to award this contract to AbilityOne (Black Hills Works) under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302(b)(2), which allows for sole source procurement from qualified nonprofit agencies employing people who are blind or have other severe disabilities. The contract falls under NAICS code 812332 for Industrial Launderers and PSC code S209 for Housekeeping-Laundry/Drycleaning services. The notice was posted on July 18, 2025, with a response deadline of August 1, 2025. The services will support multiple squadrons and facilities across the base, including medical treatment facilities and various operational squadrons.
The primary objective of this sole source procurement is to secure comprehensive laundry and rug services for Ellsworth Air Force Base, with an estimated annual workload of approximately 97,570 pounds of laundry materials. The contractor will be responsible for providing all personnel, equipment, transportation, and supplies necessary to perform weekly rug exchanges and launder various items including medical linens, military uniforms, and coveralls according to strict packaging and cleanliness standards. Key requirements include maintaining dark blue or Freestyle Chocolate colored rugs in good condition, following specific pickup and delivery schedules for different base facilities, and complying with health regulations and security requirements while operating on the Air Force installation. Since this is a sole source award intended for AbilityOne, traditional competitive bidding processes do not apply, and the contract is specifically designed to support the federal government's commitment to providing employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities through the AbilityOne program.
