S209--Hospital Linen Services

The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a pre-solicitation notice for hospital linen services to be performed in Durham. The required services follow a nonpersonal, hybrid-rental model that combines the processing of rented textiles and Customer Owned Goods (COG). The contractor is responsible for the provision, laundering, finishing, inspection, replacement, and delivery of bulk laundry items. All textiles must be cleaned, sanitized, and maintained free of wrinkles, lint, and stains in accordance with industry standards established by the CDC, OSHA, the Association for Linen Management, and the International Fabricare Institute.

The government intends to utilize this model to ensure the consistent availability of high-quality textile products while optimizing cost efficiency. This requirement is classified under NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers) and PSC S209 (Housekeeping- Laundry/Drycleaning). The procurement is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSBC) set-aside.

Solicitation number 36C24626Q0549 was published on May 5, 2026, and includes one attachment. The response deadline for this notice is May 13, 2026. Byron Brown serves as the primary point of contact for this requirement. Under the resulting contract, the provider will manage its own personnel and performance methods independently of government supervision.
