Most such facilities are privately owned, either by non-profits, such as hospitals, or by corporations, not by the federal government. Therefore, a government contract isn't involved. Rather, you would contact the institutions directly and find out how they choose the service providers they use. Larger institutions may put the contract out to bid. Smaller ones may have a more informal process.

Re: Mobile Hair Salon I actually did this for one of my clients so heregoes. Many of the facilities to whichyou refer are funded by the government but are actually nonprofit agencies notbound by government contract rules. WhatI would do with a mobile hair salon is prepare a written proposal in no morethan two to three pages about your qualifications, the nature of the serviceyoure willing to provide, your willingness to set up a file on each client soyou know their likes and dislikes and most importantly your discount rate for ahigher number of clients.
