The Department of Veterans Affairs has issued a pre-solicitation notice for hospital linen services in Durham under solicitation number 36C24626Q0549. This procurement is designated as an SDVOSBC Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside and is classified under NAICS 812332 Industrial Launderers and PSC S209 HOUSEKEEPING- LAUNDRY/DRYCLEANING.

The required services follow a hybrid-rental model that combines both rented and Customer Owned Goods to maintain high-quality textile availability. The scope of work includes the laundering, finishing, provision, inspection, replacement, and delivery of bulk laundry items. All textiles must be cleaned and sanitized to be free of wrinkles, lint, and stains, with workmanship adhering to standards established by the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Association for Linen Management (ALM), and the International Fabricare Institute (IFI).

This is a nonpersonal services contract where the government will not supervise contractor personnel or control the specific methods of performance. The contractor is responsible for managing its personnel, work schedules, and tasks to ensure all activities remain distinct from personal services. The primary intent of this model is to optimize cost efficiency and minimize the logistical burden on the agency while ensuring consistent textile support.
