The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Network Contract Office 20, is gathering information from firms that can provide laundry and linen services for the Mann-Grandstaff VA Medical Center in Spokane, Washington.

Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Worth checking: Contractor must run its own processing facility. The service needs a contractor-operated facility that meets sanitary and separation standards, which a business without laundry plant capacity may not have.
- Minor: Strict soiled and clean linen separation. Soiled and clean linen must stay apart through processing, storage and transport.
- Minor: Requirements may change before the request for quote. The Performance Work Statement (PWS, the document describing the work) may change, so early responses may not match the final terms.
