DEPT OF DEFENSE.DEPT OF THE ARMY.AMC.ACC.MISSION INSTALLATION CONTRACTING COMMAND.418TH CSB.W6QM MICC-FT BLISS · Response deadline: Wed, 07 Oct 2026
What the government is buying
The Army's Mission Installation Contracting Command at Fort Bliss is soliciting offers for a lease and services contract covering washers and dryers. This combined synopsis/solicitation indicates the government seeks both the equipment itself and associated services—likely covering installation, maintenance, repair, and potentially replacement over the contract period.
Commercial laundry equipment leasing to federal installations typically includes coin-operated or card-operated washers and dryers for barracks, family housing, or other troop facilities. Services connected to such leases generally encompass preventive maintenance, emergency repairs, parts replacement, revenue collection systems, and periodic equipment refreshment. The "combined" notice type means this single document both announces the requirement and invites immediate offers, streamlining the procurement process.

Who can bid
This opportunity is totally set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 333310—Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing. To qualify, your business must meet the Small Business Administration's size standard for this NAICS, which is 1,000 employees. You must also be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) and have an active, valid registration at the time of award.
Given the compressed timeline—posted October 6, 2026 with offers due October 7, 2026—this appears to be a simplified acquisition or a re-solicitation where the government is prepared to evaluate and potentially award quickly. Firms already positioned with SAM registration, pertinent past performance documentation, and familiarity with Fort Bliss operations will have an advantage.
How to put together a competitive bid
For commercial laundry equipment leasing, focus your proposal on several concrete elements. Equipment specifications: Detail make, model, capacity, energy efficiency ratings, and anticipated lifespan of washers and dryers you propose. Service response metrics: Commit to specific repair response times—industry benchmarks for military housing often range from 24-48 hours for non-emergency and same-day for outages affecting large numbers of users. Revenue/warranty structure: Clarify whether the government pays fixed monthly lease rates, per-use fees, or a hybrid; see the solicitation for the required pricing structure. Maintenance scheduling: Describe your preventive maintenance cadence and how you minimize downtime during peak usage periods. Past performance: Prior Army or other federal installation laundry contracts strengthen your submission significantly; submit relevant CPARS or contractor performance ratings. Installation logistics: Address coordination with Fort Bliss facilities, any required security clearances for technicians, and adherence to base access protocols.
Because this is a total small business set-aside, emphasize your small business status upfront and confirm no affiliation issues would compromise eligibility.
