T2304 Laundry Rental Services DHS DMAVA

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Laundry Rental Services on behalf of the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMAVA) and the Department of Human Services (DHS). The intent is to award a three-year master blanket purchase order contract to a single vendor experienced in commercial healthcare laundry services to provide an all-inclusive laundry and linen rental operation for six facility locations across the state, including the Greenbrook Regional Center, New Lisbon Developmental Center, and the New Jersey Veterans Memorial Homes at Menlo Park, Paramus, and Vineland. The RFP outlines detailed requirements for pick-up and delivery schedules, laundry item specifications, diapers and under-pads, laundering procedures, testing and quality assurance, supplies, inventory, and security clearances. Quotes are due by November 29, 2016 at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, and the State will evaluate proposals based on price and other factors to select the most advantageous offer.

The contract opportunity is not designated as a small business set-aside, and the State reserves the right to separately procure individual requirements during the contract term as needed. The incumbent provider is not specified, and the contract value or budget range is not disclosed. However, the pricing will be evaluated on a consumption model, and the State estimates daily usage quantities for linen items, diapers, and personal laundry, though these amounts are not guaranteed.
