American West Laundry LLC

American West Laundry LLC, a minority-owned and Hispanic American-owned small business based in San Antonio, Texas, provides bulk laundry and linen management services to the Defense Health Agency and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor operating exclusively on full-and-open delivery orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no set-aside designations across its recent federal footprint.

American West Laundry operates as a for-profit corporate entity specializing in institutional laundry services under NAICS 722320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services except Coin-Operated) and PSC H010 (Housekeeping—Laundry/Drycleaning), with 21 prime awards totaling $50.8 million in combined potential value across a five-year window. The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on defense medical facilities. The Defense Health Agency dominates both volume and dollar share (3 awards, $29.9 million combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (14 awards, $12.2 million), the Department of the Army Medical Command (3 awards, $8.7 million), and the Department of the Air Force (1 award, $92 thousand). The divergence between the two rankings reflects the vendor's seat on a large-value IDC with DHA that anchors the dollar concentration, while AETC drives award volume through smaller delivery orders.

American West Laundry holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract (W81K0023D0002) with the U.S. Army Medical Command valued at $21.4 million with an ordering period through September 30, 2027, which has generated five delivery orders for bulk regular laundry services at Brooke Army Medical Center and the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research in San Antonio, Texas. The vendor also operates under an Air Force IDC (FA301616D0014) that has produced eleven task orders valued at $1.4 million combined. Recent representative work includes a $4.3 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the Defense Health Agency (awarded April 1, 2026, completing March 31, 2027) for laundry and linen management including facility labor, supervision, materials, equipment, and transportation at the same San Antonio medical facilities. Activity has declined in recent years — one award in 2024, one in 2025, and one in 2026 — with only a single $4.3 million award facing completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime on its federal footprint with no documented subcontract activity. All work is performed at Joint Base San Antonio Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
