3695--COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL LAUNDRY EQUIPMENT – OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

The Department of Veterans Affairs anticipates issuing a solicitation for commercial industrial laundry equipment at its Oklahoma City facility; responses to this pre-solicitation notice are due July 7, 2026, and the procurement is set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business.

The equipment package comprises three primary systems. First, two 400/500-pound gas-heated drying and conditioning tumblers with external lint collection, color touch screen controls, and microprocessor diagnostics capable of sling loading via monorail. Second, four washer extractors (one 800/900-pound unit, one 400/500-pound unit, and two 200/300-pound units) of split-pocket pass-through type with total wastewater heat recovery, color touch screen controls offering automatic and manual operation modes, Class I liquid supply system interface for seven chemical types, and wireless printing integration with existing monorail systems. Third, a blanket folding system consisting of one spreader-feeding machine with two operator stations capable of processing 500 thermal blankets, 500 bath blankets, and 500 bedspreads per hour, paired with one folder-cross-folder unit with stacker and rear discharge.

All equipment requires 480-volt 3-phase electrical service (the folding system requires 208-volt 3-phase) and must integrate with new power disconnect boxes, galvanized steel ductwork, fire suppression systems with flow alarm valves and beacon lights, emergency stop buttons, lockout/tag-out instructions, and hour meters for maintenance tracking. Performance work is located at the Oklahoma City VA facility. Vendors should prepare qualifications demonstrating experience with commercial industrial laundry equipment supply, installation, and integration with existing facility infrastructure.
