The Department of the Army, MICC-West Point, issued this sources sought notice to identify potential vendors capable of providing laundry and dry cleaning services at West Point, New York. While the government currently intends to award a firm-fixed-price bridge contract on a sole-source basis to PENN Enterprises Inc., it is seeking information from interested large and small businesses to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. The requirement is classified under NAICS code 812332, Industrial Launderers, and PSC S209, Housekeeping- Laundry/Drycleaning. There is currently no set-aside designated for this action.
The anticipated bridge contract includes a 12-month base period beginning July 30, 2026. The scope of work involves industrial laundering and dry cleaning services as detailed in the attached draft Performance Work Statement. The proposed sole-source justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), which applies when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. This market research effort aims to identify business capabilities and socioeconomic statuses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, to support potential set-aside or competition determinations.
