Uniform Rental and Laundry Services

The State Preservation Board (SPB) of Texas is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to provide uniform rental and laundry services for approximately 50 employees across three locations: the Texas Capitol, Texas State History Museum, and Texas State Cemetery. The contract requires the rental of 11 uniforms per employee, with grounds employees receiving 12 uniforms. Uniform pickup and delivery must occur weekly at each location, and the uniforms must display the appropriate SPB logo and be available in various materials, colors, and styles to meet the SPB's requirements. Prior to contract award, respondents must submit samples of each garment type for evaluation. The contract term is from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026, with the possibility of two 1-year renewal options. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest qualified bid, and the SPB reserves the right to consider past vendor performance in the selection process.

The contract opportunity includes jurisdictions such as Travis County and the City of Austin. Respondents must submit a completed HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) with their bid, and are required to provide notice to Texas certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) and trade organizations regarding subcontracting opportunities. The HUB goal for this contract has been identified as 21.1% for all building construction. The estimated annual budget for these services is $40,000, and pricing changes will not be allowed during the initial contract term, with any increases for renewal periods to be submitted 90 days prior to the end of the initial term.
