The Georgia Department of Corrections solicited laundry services for the State Offices South at Tift Campus (SOSTC) located at 300 Patrol Road, Forsyth, Georgia 31029, through a competitive request for quotation (Solicitation GDC001184). The procurement sought to establish a one-year contract with options for up to four additional yearly renewals to provide comprehensive laundry services performed according to attached specifications. Services must be delivered on weekdays only, with no work scheduled on weekends or State of Georgia holidays. The solicitation was posted on February 26, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 6, 2026. The contract award was announced on March 27, 2026, with University Laundry Solutions selected as the successful offeror. The evaluation criteria focused on pricing, with the award made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Interested parties had the opportunity to submit written questions and clarifications, with an addendum issued on March 3, 2026, to address submitted inquiries and provide additional guidance to potential respondents.

The contract was awarded to University Laundry Solutions at an estimated open contract award amount of $14,095.00 for the initial one-year term.
