DOCJT Laundry Services/April-June 2025

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) is seeking a vendor to provide laundry services for Thompson Hall Dorm through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) released on March 18, 2025. The procurement specifically targets weekly laundry services from April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025, with requirements for pickup and delivery of flat sheets, fitted sheets, pillow covers, pillowcases, and blankets, along with as-needed tablecloth services. Vendors must collect and return laundry every Friday between 8:00 am and 11:00 am, with comprehensive services including washing, drying, and folding. The solicitation will be evaluated using a "best value" approach, with pricing identified as the primary selection criterion. Responses are due by March 26, 2025 at 3:00 pm EST, and bidders must submit pricing on a per-pound basis for sheets, pillow covers, and pillowcases, and a per-blanket pricing structure for blankets.

The contract includes provisions for Kentucky resident bidder preferences and potential advantages for specific organizations such as Kentucky Industries for the Blind or nonprofit organizations serving individuals with disabilities. The total cost of services is restricted to $20,000 per fiscal year, indicating a moderate-scale procurement opportunity. Standard state procurement requirements are incorporated, including non-discrimination clauses, access to records provisions, and compliance with state laws and regulations. Bidders will need to demonstrate capability in industrial laundry services, with a focus on timely, high-quality processing of institutional linens and textiles. The solicitation is specifically focused on Lincoln County, Kentucky, and appears designed to secure a reliable, cost-effective laundry service provider for the DOCJT's Thompson Hall Dorm facility.
