I would encourage having a conversation prior to any profiling. For one,
you could make your own profile but if they are going to print using their
profile your results could be different. You could make your own profile
and convert the images yourself prior to sending but their default
procedure might be to just convert it to their profile for printing. Even
worse, their system might ignore any profile you make and assume sRGB.
Don't pursue profiling their equipment (which is RGB) until you've had a
conversation about their color management implementation and policies. If
they are worth their salt they've already got a better profile than what
you can make yourself via conventional methods. Really good silver halide
profiling is harder than you might think.
