Shop towel and floor mat services

The State of New Hampshire, specifically the Division of Procurement and Support Services Bureau of Purchase and Property, is seeking a Request for Information (RFI) for Shop Towel and Floor Mat Services affecting Merrimack County and Concord City. The procurement aims to establish a contract for cleaning and servicing floor mats and shop towels across approximately 12 state locations, with vendors able to bid on towel services, mat services, or both. The RFI requires detailed pricing information for various mat sizes including anti-fatigue, scraper, and walk-off mats, as well as 18" x 18" shop towels. Key deliverables include weekly service with monthly billing, maintaining a double set of floor mats to ensure continuous clean mat availability. The solicitation requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing, business information, and ordering process details. Critical dates include a bid closing deadline of January 3, 2024, at 11:00 AM EST, with potential contract terms of either 3 or 5 years.

There are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types mentioned in the documentation. The State retains flexibility in the procurement process, indicating they will consider partial responses and maintain transparency throughout the vendor selection process. No incumbent vendors are specifically identified in the documents. The pricing sheet suggests the State is seeking competitive unit pricing for towel and mat services, with estimated monthly quantities driving potential contract values. While no precise budget range is provided, the documentation implies the contract could have significant value given the multi-location service requirements and potential multi-year contract duration. The State reserves the right to move forward with a full Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Bid (RFB) based on the information gathered, and vendors will not be compensated for response preparation. Notably, Addendum #03 indicates the original bid was canceled in its entirety, adding an element of uncertainty to the procurement process.
