This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain knowledge and information for project planning purposes. a. Background. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency (PFPA) is currently made up of both law enforcement and non-enforcement personnel whose mission is to safeguard and protect civilian and military Pentagon employees, as well as the Pentagon building and infrastructure. While protecting those that protect this nation, the 600-plus uniformed PFPA men and women pride themselves on projecting a positive and professional appearance. PFPA-issued uniforms are composed of a heather grey dress uniform ("Class A" duty uniform) and navy blue utility uniform ("Class B" duty uniform). Also, a ceremonial/honor uniform is issued for those law enforcement personnel above the rank of Sergeant and those assigned to the police drill team. b. Purpose and Objectives. The Government is seeking vendors to provide dry cleaning, laundry, alterations and repair services for PFPA supporting the Pentagon Reservation Facilities, Raven Rock Mountain Complex. The service objective is to provide the PFPA Police Department a service in which the officers may have their agency-issued primary and secondary uniforms professionally laundered in an effort to maintain a professional and personal appearance while on tour of duty. c. Project requirements. The Contractor shall conduct the following tasks: 1. Provide laundry, dry cleaning, alteration and repair services for the uniform clothing of PFPA law enforcement personnel. 1.1 If the Contractor receives an article that the Contractor deems to be in an "unserviceable" condition (i.e., cannot be cleaned, altered or repaired as requested), the Contractor shall notify the COR as soon as possible and return the garment on the next scheduled delivery. 1.2 If a garment is damaged by the Contractor during cleaning or repairs, the Contractor shall notify the COR and submit a garment claim form so that the Government can be reimbursed for the cost of the uniform through the PFPA Finance Office. 2. Provide garment collection and delivery service two times per week, each Tuesday, and Thursday. 2.1 Garments intended for dry cleaning and/or laundering shall be returned within two business days of collection. For instance, garments collected on Tuesday shall be returned Thursday. Garments collected Thursday shall be returned Tuesday. 2.2 Garments intended for alterations, tailoring or repairs shall be returned within five business days of collection. For instance, garments collected on Tuesday shall be returned no later than the following Tuesday. Exceptions for major repairs will be allowed with advanced approval from the COR. 3. Prepare and provide to the Government a ticket listing serviced garments upon each scheduled delivery and collection. The ticket shall identify each individual Officer with respective garment turn-in and delivery. 4. Prepare a monthly status of total number of uniform garments that have been serviced. Status shall be broken down by the contract line items. 5. Affix adhesive sticker containing a unique serial identification number in all uniform garments that do not already have a PFPA-issued serial identification number affixed. The sticker shall be placed under the respective officers' first and last names, which will be written on the garment in permanent ink prior to collection. 6. The Contractor shall provide a written statement for each garment that is collected by the Contractor but not returned to the appropriate officer in a timely manner. The statement shall provide an explanation for the omission, the resolution (if any), and intended corrective actions to prevent reoccurrence of the incident.
