- This Sources Sought notice is for informational and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a Solicitation and is not to be considered as a commitment by the Government. All firms responding to this sources sought notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request that will be considered for contract award. 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 intent of this notice is to determine the availability of qualified commercial, small business sources technically capable of providing hospital environmental services for designated Medical Treatment Facilities (MTFs) in the Southeast Regional Medical Command. Currently, these services are performed by a small business under four (4) different purchase orders; this new requirement will consolidate the four (4) contract vehicles into one (1) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for issuing of firm-fixed price task orders. The Center for Health Care Contracting (CHCC) has a requirement for the continuation of hospital environmental services (formally the Hospital Housekeeping Services) in support of multiple MTFs. 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 84 integrated medical, dental, veterinary, and other medical department healthcare and healthcare-related facilities and buildings located on Fort Gordon, GA, Fort Jackson, SC, Fort Campbell, KY, and Redstone Arsenal, AL. The raw square feet (RSF) applicable to hospital environmental services are varied for each MTF; as such, the current aggregate raw square feet (RSF) of all MTFs are 1,741,290. The current approximate RSF per MTF is as follows: Fort Gordon, GA, David Dwight Eisenhower Army Medical Center (DDEAMC), 779,008; Fort Campbell, KY, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH), 513,092; Fort Jackson, SC, Moncrief Army Community Hospital (MACH), 344,958; and Redstone Arsenal, AL, Fox Army Health Clinic (FAHC), 104,231. The aggregate RSF of all MTFs will not to exceed 1,915,419 (10% above current aggregate raw square feet) RSF per year. The total aggregate RSF of all MTFs for a five-year period is 8,706,450, and will not exceed 9,577,095 RSF (10% above total aggregate RSF x five years). Hospital environmental services (formally identified as hospital housekeeping services) are required for the period of 01 October 2011 through 30 September 2016, inclusive of an anticipated two-year base period, and three one-year option periods.
