WCF Towels/Wipes Rental & Laundering

The Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing has issued a Special Notice regarding RFQ #2031ZA26Q00019 for Towel Rental and Laundering Services. This notice announces that the Government will not be awarding a contract based on the quotations received in response to the original small business set-aside solicitation. The Government has determined that it will revise its acquisition strategy and plans to re-solicit this requirement under full and open competition, which will be unrestricted to all eligible contractors regardless of size. The notice was posted on April 2, 2026, and reflects the Government's decision to expand the competitive landscape for this service requirement. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing appreciated the participation and effort demonstrated by all vendors who submitted quotations in response to the initial solicitation.

The purpose of this Special Notice is to inform interested parties that the original small business set-aside for towel rental and laundering services will not proceed to award and that a new solicitation will be forthcoming. The revised acquisition will be posted on SAM.gov, and interested contractors should monitor that platform for the updated solicitation announcement and associated deadlines. Under the new unrestricted competition model, eligibility will be extended beyond small business entities to include all qualified contractors capable of meeting the Government's requirements for industrial laundry services. Contractors interested in this opportunity should prepare to respond to the revised solicitation once it becomes available on SAM.gov, as the Government seeks to obtain competitive quotations for its towel and wipes rental and laundering needs through a broader contractor base.
