North Star Rental Systems Inc.

North Star Rental Systems Inc., headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, provides laundry and textile management services to federal healthcare facilities as a prime contractor competing predominantly under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement. The company operates entirely through its own prime awards—71 total awards with no subcontract activity—and holds a single-award $9.8 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 1 (VISN 1), awarded February 19, 2023, running through February 18, 2028.

North Star's customer footprint is tightly concentrated. VISN 1, the VA's Northeast regional healthcare network, accounts for 54 of 71 awards (86% of total awards) and $14.8 million of the $14.9 million combined potential value across all awards. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard holds the remaining 7 awards, valued at $29 thousand combined. VISN 1 work comprises laundry services, microfiber operations, and linen management across multiple VA medical centers and clinics in West Haven and North Providence, Connecticut; Manchester, New Hampshire; Brockton and Bedford, Massachusetts; and other Northeast locations. Individual BPA calls under the VISN 1 master agreement range from $7,000 to $251,727 in ceiling value; recent calls include a $131,665 order for Brockton services (November 2024), a $92,700 call for Manchester services (April 2026), and a $50,000 West Haven call (September 2026). Two calls—one in January 2025 and one in January 2026, each for $60,000—carried Total Small Business set-aside designations; all others were issued full-and-open.

North Star operates under two parent vehicles within VISN 1: Basic Ordering Agreement VA24117G0056 (31 task orders, $1.8 million combined potential value) and Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C24123A0055 (19 task orders, $1.5 million combined potential value). Award volume has declined modestly—7 awards in 2022 to 4 in 2026 year-to-date—but the underlying $9.8 million master BPA provides stable task-order flow through February 2028. Within the next twenty-four months, 11 awards with combined potential value of $856 thousand reach ultimate completion dates, creating recompete exposure for the vendor. The company's footprint spans industrial laundry operations (56 of 71 awards under NAICS 812310) and linen supply services (7 awards), mapped to PSC Housekeeping–Laundry/Drycleaning (62 awards). Overall obligations total $3.6 million (24% of combined potential value), reflecting the firm fixed-price, task-order-driven structure of VA healthcare laundry procurement.
