About this opportunity
The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 5 is soliciting proposals for patient linen cleaning services at the Washington DC VA Medical Center Community Living Center. The contractor must provide comprehensive linen laundering services including twice-weekly pickup and delivery of clean and soiled linens on Tuesdays and Fridays between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM, processing an average of 850 pounds of linen per week. Key requirements include compliance with Association for Linen Management standards and The Joint Commission guidelines, maintenance of separate clean and soiled linen handling areas, use of certified scales, supply of all required carts and equipment, submission of contingency service plans, and monthly reporting on unserviceable linen items. Proposals will be evaluated based on two factors: technical approach (Volume I) and fixed price (Volume II), with pricing submitted on a per-pound basis for clean laundry. Questions must be submitted by 3:00 PM EST on March 18, 2026, and complete proposals are due by 3:00 PM EST on March 25, 2026, with late submissions not accepted.
This acquisition is exclusively set aside for certified service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs) that meet the size standard for NAICS code 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with bidders required to be listed in the SBA database and prohibited from subcontracting more than 50 percent of the contract value to non-SDVOSB firms. The estimated contract value is $47 million for a one-year firm-fixed-price agreement with a performance period from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027, excluding federal holidays. The service will be performed at the Washington DC VA Medical Center Community Living Center, with the contracting officer being Sylvia Honesty at the Perry Point, Maryland facility. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documentation. This contract represents a significant opportunity for SDVOSBs capable of managing large-scale institutional linen operations while maintaining rigorous quality and compliance standards.
