Protective Equipment Uniform Rental and Laundering

The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 7 (VISN 7) is conducting a market survey for protective equipment uniform rental and laundering services. The procurement will focus on acquiring industrial laundry and uniform supply services classified under NAICS code 812332 and Product Service Code S209. This pre-solicitation notice represents a sources sought notice designed to identify potential small business contractors capable of providing these services. The market survey is intended to assess the market's capacity and readiness to meet the VA's requirements before formally initiating a solicitation. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by March 19, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, with Gail Bargaineer serving as the primary point of contact for potential vendors.

The pre-solicitation notice is specifically set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Concerns (SDVOSBC), which limits competition to businesses meeting this specific qualification. While specific award values and precise service quantities were not explicitly detailed in the documentation, the procurement will be managed through the VA Network Contracting Office located in Tucker, Georgia. The solicitation will remain archived for 60 days following the response deadline, indicating a structured approach to market research and potential future procurement. Interested vendors must carefully review the requirements and ensure they meet the SDVOSBC designation to be considered for this opportunity. The VA's market survey approach suggests a deliberate and methodical process for identifying qualified uniform and protective equipment service providers.
