Redacted J&A Laundry and Dry Cleaning

Background
The Army Sustainment Command (ASC) and the Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) at Fort Benning, Georgia, require laundry and dry-cleaning services for both active and reserve components.

This contract is justified under the Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items due to unusual and compelling urgency, as outlined in Title 41 U.S.C 1901. The total estimated value of the contract is $2.7 million.

Work Details
The contractor will perform laundry and dry-cleaning functions necessary to maintain current operational levels.

The justification states that recruiting and hiring new personnel would take a minimum of 90-120 days, followed by an additional 90 days for training, making this option impractical. The incumbent contractor, CLS Medical, Inc., is identified as the only source capable of providing the required labor and services without jeopardizing mission success. Transitioning to a new contractor is deemed unacceptable due to insufficient time to prepare and implement a new contract without risking mission failure. This bridge contract is essential to ensure continuity of operations while completing pre-award milestones for a future acquisition.

Place of Performance
Fort Benning, Georgia
