District 3 Uniform/Shop Towel Rental

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is soliciting a contractor for uniform rental and laundering services across Engineering District 3-5 (Snyder County), Engineering District 3-8 (Union County), and Engineering District 3-4 (Northumberland County), with proposals due September 3, 2026. The procurement requires domestic workforce certification as an evaluation criterion under a best-value selection process.

Contractors must complete a Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification Form certifying that 100 percent of direct labor will be performed domestically or within countries that are parties to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement (including Canada, European Union member states, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Israel, and forty-two other eligible countries). Failure to complete the certification results in no score for this evaluation element. Any misstatement on the certification is treated as fraudulent concealment under Section 4904 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code and is contractually binding upon execution of award.

The scope encompasses uniform rental, laundering, and shop towel rental services to support PennDOT operations across the three specified districts. The contractor must maintain adequate inventory levels, ensure timely service delivery to all specified locations, comply with maintenance and quality assurance standards, manage inventory and replacement procedures for damaged or worn items, and adhere to all applicable state and federal regulations governing service delivery.

Contractors must also complete a Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form as part of the solicitation process. The contract establishes requirements for pricing mechanisms, payment procedures, insurance and bonding, liability limitations, indemnification, and compliance with PennDOT policies. The source does not disclose estimated contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor information, or specific renewal options.
