How to bid on laundry services for the VA’s Mann-Grandstaff Medical Center

What the VA is seeking

The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking information about a contractor-operated laundry and linen service for Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, Washington. The contractor would process and deliver linen that is clean, sanitary, odor-free, and serviceable.

The work also calls for keeping clean and soiled linen physically separate during processing, storage, and transport; reliable pickup and delivery; and accurate reporting for quality, quantity, and billing. This notice is an RFI, and the performance requirements may change before the request for quote is issued.

Key date and what the deadline means

The notice was published October 26, 2026. The stated deadline is November 9, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET.

Because this is an RFI, treat it as a request for information, not as a confirmed request for quote. Review the notice for its response instructions and submit by the stated deadline if you plan to respond.

Who this opportunity may suit

This opportunity may suit a laundry or textile-care provider able to operate a processing facility and handle linen service for a medical center. Relevant experience includes sanitary linen processing, separation of clean and soiled items, scheduled pickup and delivery, and accurate service and billing records.
