Parker Service Unit Linen

The Indian Health Service (IHS), a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, has published a Special Notice regarding laundry services at Parker Service Unit. This Sources Sought Notice indicates the agency's intent to award a sole-source contract under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, which applies when only one responsible source is available. The notice falls under NAICS code 812332 (Industrial Launderers) and represents the government's effort to identify capable vendors before formal solicitation. The agency has determined that laundry services in this remote location may be available from only one qualified provider, necessitating this advance notification to the contracting community.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to solicit capability statements from interested contractors who believe they can provide comprehensive laundry services, including personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, and supervision. Interested vendors must submit their capability statements via email to dale.clark@ihs.gov by 1:00 p.m. MST on January 2, 2026, and must reference notice number IHS1521861SS in their submissions. While there are no specific eligibility restrictions mentioned, contractors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to deliver laundry services in a remote location. The IHS emphasizes that submission of information does not obligate the government to award a contract, and any formal solicitation will be announced subsequently on Federal Business Opportunities. Interested parties should refrain from including proprietary, classified, or sensitive information in their responses.
