Linen Services for Jacobs Creek Job Corps Center

INTENT TO PROCURE SERVICES VIA A SOLE SOURCE SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS (SDVOSB) ACQUISITION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 19.1406:

Jacobs Creek Job Corps Center, located in Bristol, TN, has a requirement for weekly linen services.  The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, tools, supplies, vehicles, supervision, facilities and other items and services necessary to perform laundry services for Jacobs Creek Job Corps Center, picking up soiled laundry and delivering clean laundry each week.  Laundering must be performed at the Contractor's own facilities.

This office intends to solicit these services on a sole source basis under the authority of FAR 19.1406 from a SDVOSB concern, BES Technologies. 

This is a commercial items procurement (see FAR part 12).  The Government intends to issue a written solicitation to BES Technologies using FAR part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures.  A written solicitation will not be made publicly available unless other interested and capable SDVOSB concerns express interest in this requirement by the response deadline established in this notice. 

If interested in this opportunity, submit in writing to Sarah Pheral at spheral@fs.fed.us:

1.  The name and DUNS number of your organization;
2.  Verify that your company is a SDVOSB concern; and
3.  Submit a brief capability statement, demonstrating your company's ability to meet the requirements for weekly linen services at Jacobs Creek Job Corps Center in Bristol, TN.

If, based on responses to this notice, the Contracting Officer has a reasonable expectation that quotes will be received from two or more service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns, this requirement will instead be procured via a set-aside to SDVOSB concerns.

This office plans to award the aniticpated contract no later than July 29, 2016, with a period of performance beginning August 1, 2016.  The anticipated contract will be for a one-year base period plus four one-year option periods.

All inquiries, as well as any responses expressing interest in this opportunity, as well as capability to provide the required services, must be sent in writing (email is sufficient) to the points of contact established in this notice.
