Service washer & dryer for residential

The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Indian Education is seeking a firm to lease and maintain washers and dryers for the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute (SIPI), specifically for two dormitory buildings: Four Winds Lodge and Golden Eagle Lodge. The solicitation requires a contractor to provide 16 total front-load washers and electric dryers, all of which must be new, commercial-grade, and meet Energy Star ratings. Quotes are due by May 8, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time, and will be evaluated based on implementation schedule, preventive maintenance schedule, past performance, and price reasonableness. The government reserves the right to make a best-value trade-off award, even if not the lowest-priced proposal. Contractors must provide comprehensive maintenance services, including monthly cleaning, 48-hour repair response times, quarterly dryer vent cleaning, and student training each trimester.

The contract is set aside for total small businesses and is classified under NAICS code 812310 for Coin Operated Laundries and Drycleaners, with a small business size standard of $13 million. The contract period spans a base year from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with four potential option years that could extend the contract through June 30, 2030. The contract will be administered by the Indian Education Acquisition Office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and will require the contractor to handle all aspects of equipment management, including delivery, installation, maintenance, repair, and eventual removal. The performance location will be SIPI's campus, with specific equipment to be installed in the Four Winds Lodge (female dormitory) and Golden Eagle Lodge (male dormitory). The solicitation underwent two amendments, shifting from an Indian Economic Enterprise set-aside to a total small business set-aside, with the final version maintaining the original procurement objectives.
