Location: ALBANY, NY
Set-aside: Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set Aside
NAICS: 339113
Scope: Federal

The purpose of this amendment is to address questions submitted by interested vendors.

The submission due date is also being extended to July 27, 2026, at 9AM EST.

All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Question: Could you specify the products that require washing?

Is it only wheelchairs, or also other items?

Answer: Wheelchairs and possibly kitchen rugs on a rack.

Question: What are the size measurements of these items?

Answer: Outside (W x H x L) 39 x 62 x 65 ; Inside (W x H x L) 32 x 49 x 55 capable of fitting a bariatric chair inside.

Question: What type of contamination is present on these products?

Answer: Hospital contaminants i.e.

Body fluids and food.

Question: What is your target quantity of products to be washed per hour?

Answer: 4-5 items per hour.

Question: How many hours a day is the washing process expected to run?

Answer: 8-10hrs.

Question: Is this a start to finish job?

Answer: This is not a start to finish job; there is no need for a dryer.

Question: Under the "DESIRED UNIQUE CAPABILITIES" section on page 6, it states under the subsection "Disinfection": "During the disinfection cycle, a liquid disinfectant concentrate or Ready to Use will be dispensed and sprayed onto equipment surfaces.

If UV is used for disinfection, the wash and rinse cycles are first completed and then the UV lamps come on for 3 minutes." Does the end-user want us to quote just the UV unit or are we to add Ready to Use (RTU) Disinfectant Components or Concentrate Disinfectant Components or both at a discount.

If need be, I can always add the ADD-ON DISINFECTANTS as optional.

Answer: Only the wheelchair cleaner equipment needs to be quoted.

Official solicitation and documents

The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
