Quick Summary
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contracting Office (NCO) 20, is conducting a Sources Sought to identify qualified sources for Medical Center Laundry and Linen Processing Services at the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, WA. This is a temporary requirement due to a facility closure for repairs. Responses are due by March 18, 2026, at 5 PM PT.
Scope of Work
The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, supervision, management, supplies, bulk delivery carts, transportation, and facilities for contractor-owned/operated bulk laundry/linen services. The estimated annual volume is 610,000 lbs. based on 2025 projections.
Key tasks include:
- Clean linen delivery and soiled linen pickup between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
- Processing and return of bulk laundry/linen within 3 business days of pickup.
- Cleaning of all carts with a tuberculocidal germicide/disinfectant after soiled linen unloading and before clean linen loading.
Special Requirements
All work must adhere to sanitary conditions specified by the Joint Commission (JC) and the Association of Linen Management (ALM). The laundry plant design requires physical separation with a barrier wall and pass-through equipment to maintain positive air pressure in the clean section relative to negative air pressure in the soiled section, ensuring a "design for asepsis" to prevent cross-contamination.
