Linen Inventory

The Indian Health Service is forecasting a procurement for an RFID-based linen tracking and dispensing system under the contract designation 2025-AAP-GSU-SV-0001, aimed at modernizing linen inventory management across its facilities. The effort seeks to implement a technology-driven solution that improves the accuracy, efficiency, and accountability of linen handling, from distribution to return and laundering, using RFID tags and automated dispensing systems. This initiative is classified under NAICS code 812331, which pertains to laundry and dry-cleaning services, indicating a focus on operational support for healthcare environments through enhanced logistical control. The contract is set to be managed by the Indian Health Service with point of contact Theresa Jackson serving as the program lead and Misty Billy as the contracting officer, both reachable via official email channels.
