Rag Service March ARB

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command is seeking a vendor to provide rag replacement and laundry services for March Air Reserve Base (ARB) in California, specifically supporting the 452 Maintenance Group and Fire Department with clean rags and lint-free towels for aircraft maintenance, cleaning, lubrication, and hazardous material distribution activities. The vendor must supply a minimum of 750 clean rags and 12 lint-free towels on a weekly basis, with different colored rags designated for Aircraft Maintenance versus the Fire Department, and must remove used rags in a one-for-one exchange. Critical requirements include the vendor's ability to secure and maintain independent base access credentials, provide deliveries on the same day each week between Tuesday and Thursday during specified time windows (0700-1000 hours or 1200-1400 hours), maintain detailed delivery records, and submit monthly compliance reports by the fifth day following each month. The government will evaluate compliance through periodic inspections verifying quantity, quality, delivery schedules, and adherence to base security protocols. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 5, 2026, with a due date of February 15, 2026 for questions or clarifications regarding the opportunity.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current service providers. The contract period spans five years with 52 annual delivery visits (260 total visits across the contract term), commencing within 30 days of award, requiring the vendor to service five separate base locations with specified weekly rag allocations: Building 2306 (200 rags), Building 1221 (150 rags), Building 429 (100 rags and 12 towels), Building 1290 (200 rags), and Building 2390 (100 rags). While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the scope of services—weekly deliveries across multiple locations for a five-year period—suggests a substantial contract opportunity. The classified service falls under NAICS code 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services) and PSC code S209 (Housekeeping-Laundry/Drycleaning), indicating this is a specialized laundry and linen service requirement for military operations.
