North Star Rental Systems Inc.

North Star Rental Systems Inc., a for-profit laundry and textile management services provider headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, operates exclusively as a federal prime contractor (100% of awards) and competes predominantly on full-and-open federal procurement with no SBA set-aside posture, though two individual task orders within its VA contract portfolio carried Total Small Business designations.

North Star's federal footprint is highly concentrated with a single customer: the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 accounts for 54 awards (86% of awards) with combined potential value of $14.9 million out of $15 million total portfolio. Across those 54 awards, North Star delivers industrial laundry operations, microfiber services, and linen management to VA medical centers and clinics in the Northeast region, including facilities in West Haven and Brockton, Massachusetts; North Providence, Rhode Island; Manchester, New Hampshire; and Bedford, Massachusetts. A secondary customer, the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard, represents 7 awards valued at $29 thousand combined. North Star's work is classified predominantly under NAICS 812310 (Industrial Launderers) with secondary exposure in drycleaning services and linen supply.

North Star's prime contract footprint rests on two parent vehicles. A single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (36C24123A0055) awarded by VA VISN 1 on February 19, 2023, carries a $9.8 million ceiling through February 18, 2028, and has generated 19 task orders worth $1.6 million in combined potential value. A companion Basic Ordering Agreement (VA24117G0056) has issued 31 task orders valued at $1.8 million combined. Individual task orders under these umbrellas range from $7,034 to $251,727, issued on firm fixed-price basis across facility-specific laundry requirements. Recent representative awards include a $302,873 call for White River Junction, Vermont laundry services (April 22, 2025), a $131,566 call for Brockton services (November 1, 2024), and a $92,700 call for Manchester, New Hampshire operations (April 21, 2026).

Activity has remained flat to declining over the past five years—seven awards in 2022 stepping down to four in 2026 year-to-date—with ten awards (combined potential value $806 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete exposure. North Star has maintained an unbroken relationship with VA VISN 1 since SAM.gov registration in 2003, with obligated dollars comprising approximately 24% of its combined potential value across all awards.
