Marine Corps installations run laundries for barracks and troop support, and the work appears both as equipment purchases and as laundry service contracts. The two are different businesses with different federal rules.

Where the work posts

Marine Corps laundry work posts on SAM.gov under the laundry equipment codes for purchases and under service codes for laundry service. An equipment solicitation sets the machines and install, while a service solicitation carries the Service Contract Act wage rates on the labor.

What decides the award

An equipment award turns on the domestic content under the Buy American Act and the approved equal terms. A service award turns on the Service Contract Act wage determination and the staffing. The agent tells the two apart and flags the terms that decide each.

How the agent handles it

Our agent monitors SAM.gov by the laundry equipment and service codes, separates a Marine Corps equipment purchase from a service contract, and scores each for the right business against your lines or your service capability.

The agent separates a federal equipment purchase from a service contract and scores each correctly. See the federal and military laundry bid agent in the interactive demo.
