This is a Sources Sought Notice ONLY. The U.S. Government currently intends to award a contract for Laundry and Dry-Cleaning (L&DC) Services on a sole-source basis, but is seeking vendors that may be able to perform this requirement in order to support a competitive procurement. Accordingly, the U.S. Government highly encourages all interested businesses to respond to this sources sought synopsis.
