Core Linen Services Inc.

Core Linen Services Inc., doing business as Crothall Healthcare, operates as a for-profit laundry and linen services provider delivering healthcare facility support to federal agencies as a prime contractor exclusively — 100% of recent awards carry prime status, with no subcontract activity. The vendor competes under full and open competition with no set-aside designations and holds DOT Certification as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise. Headquarters are in Huntersville, North Carolina.

Core Linen's customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, which accounts for 86% of recent awards across two organizational units. The NIH Clinical Center anchors the portfolio with 39 awards valued at $87.3 million in combined potential value, while the NIH Office of the Chief Operating Officer adds 23 awards valued at $44.1 million. These two NIH entities sit on the top two parent vehicles driving the vendor's delivery: Indefinite Delivery Contract HHSN269201200010C (50 task orders, $44.2 million combined potential value) and Indefinite Delivery Contract HHSN269201100005I (9 task orders, $8.7 million combined potential value). Secondary customers include the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 22, the Department of the Army Medical Command, and the Defense Health Agency. Recent representative awards include a $6.961 million definitive contract (awarded January 1, 2025, running through December 31, 2029) for complete laundry services at Phoenix VA Healthcare System and Prescott VA Healthcare System; a $2.058 million definitive contract (awarded November 1, 2024, running through October 31, 2029) for laundry and linen services at Fort Gordon, Georgia supporting Dwight D. Eisenhower Army Medical Center; and a $4,255.14 purchase order for linen services at Shaw Air Force Base awarded July 21, 2025.

Core Linen's NAICS footprint splits across janitorial and laundry categories: 61 awards fall under Janitorial Services, 7 under Industrial Launderers, 5 under Drycleaning and Laundry Services, and 4 under Linen Supply. PSC coding aligns similarly, with 65 awards mapped to Housekeeping-Laundry/Drycleaning and 10 to Housekeeping-Custodial Janitorial. The vendor's 83 total awards span two decades of activity (first award September 2003), with recent-year activity showing minimal volume — one award in 2021, one in 2024, and two in 2025 — suggesting either a mature, sustained customer base or a data-capture lag in the source. SCI-reportable invoicing captured $1.2 million in FY2025 across 6.5 full-time equivalents on a single prime contract, reflecting only the subset of Core Linen's federal services work above the $150,000 reporting threshold. Combined potential value across all 83 awards stands at $150.3 million, with $62.9 million obligated to date (42% of potential value).
