- Description
- The Center for Health Care Contracting (CHCC) cancelled solicitation W81K04-11-R-0020, dated 2 August 2011 due to considerably substantial increase in scope and value of the requirements. Therefore, a new market survey/sources sought is being re-accomplished for the new solicitation. This market survey/sources sought announcement is not a request for proposals and the Government is not committed to award a contract pursuant to this announcement. The information from this market research is for planning purposes only and will assist the Government in planning its acquisition strategy. This is strictly market research and the Government will not entertain questions concerning this market research. The CHCC has a new requirement for the continuation of healthcare housekeeping services in support of Womack Army Medical Center (WAMC) and multiple military treatment facilities (MTFs) in the health service area of WAMC. MTFs are medical facilities operated by the military and vary in capabilities in partnership with healthcare providers, medical educators, and medical researchers. For this effort, MTFs is a collective term of 37 integrated medical, dental, veterinary, three satellite clinics, and other medical department healthcare and healthcare-related facilities and buildings located on Fort Bragg, NC, to include Pope Army Air Field; Fayetteville Medical Home off highway 401/Raeford Road in Fayetteville, NC; and Hope Mills, NC. The raw square feet (RSF) applicable to healthcare housekeeping services are varied for each MTF; as such, the current aggregate RSF of all MTFs is 1,122,224 RSF. The projected newly-constructed and renovated building expansions and contingency growth factors could possibly increase the RSF to 1,401,291 to include two additional community-based primary care clinics (CBPCC) in Fayetteville, NC over the duration of the five year contract. Healthcare housekeeping services are required for the period of 1 April 2012 through 31 March 2017. Description of Services: The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, tools, materials, management, and supervision (except for those items specified as government-furnished property, supplies, equipment and services) necessary to perform non-personal, healthcare housekeeping services to WAMC and the multiple MTFs in the health service area of WAMC located on Fort Bragg, NC. Healthcare housekeeping services are inclusive of hospital housekeeping (aseptic and non-aseptic), control and exchange of linen (OPTION), collection and removal of regulated medical waste (RMW), collection and removal of general waste (trash), collection ; removal of recycle, and exterior building services (e.g., windows, doors, walkways, parking lots) such as window cleaning. The Contractor shall provide healthcare housekeeping services consistent with the most modern and scientific methods of environmental service practices and techniques to include the highest level of sanitary procedures. The applicable North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 561720 and the small business size standard is $16.5 million dollars. The respondents must demonstrate their expertise in ALL of the following items.
