Acquisition Description:
This is a Notice of Intent, not a request for proposal. The National Institute of Health, Clinical Center (NIH-CC) intends to negotiate on an other than full and open competition basis with McClure Industries.
The MMESD, Storage & Distribution Section has a requirement for the vendor to provide the NIH Clinical Center/MMESD with and 8 laundry carts according to the following specifications listed under the contractor requirements. The NIH has been using these laundry carts since the year 2000. The average life cycle is 7 years for the laundry carts. We are currently using the vendor laundry carts with retractable tow system.

Justification:

We specifically need McClure Industries Laundry Carts with retractable Tow System.
If another vendor laundry cart is used, it will not matchup with the hitching post on the government owned Cushman tuggers. It is a huge safety risk for staff to try and pull clean/soiled laundry carts weighting 700 to 800 pounds. Thus, we need this same brand of laundry carts so they are compatible with our current carts and systems. McClure Industries is the manufacturer and the sole source for their laundry carts.
See Bill of Materials.
