The Defense Health Agency awarded a firm-fixed price service contract to Northwest Center for Medical Laundry and Linen Services on August 1, 2025, for medical laundry and linen services supporting U.S. Naval Hospital Bremerton and the Branch Health Clinic Bangor. The contract has a total value of $416,460.00 and consists of a base year running from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026, with four subsequent option years extending through September 30, 2030. The scope of work involves the pickup, processing, and delivery of approximately 330,000 pounds of government-owned linen over the five-year period, with specific weekly schedules for both the Bremerton and Bangor locations. The contractor must adhere to rigorous infection control and hygiene standards, including those set by the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council, The Joint Commission, and CDC guidelines. Key requirements include the physical separation of clean and soiled linens, the use of germicidal agents in final rinses, and the use of specially marked double-bags for contaminated items. Performance is monitored through quarterly facility inspections and the submission of detailed delivery tickets. Administrative requirements include invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow and maintaining a facility within a two-hour commute of the performance sites. Award was based on a best-value tradeoff where past performance was weighted more heavily than price, provided the contractor met the mandatory technical capability threshold.
