Vancouver VAMC Laundry Trailers

The Department of Veterans Affairs is soliciting four 45-foot dry van laundry trailers through a Small Business Set Aside under NAICS code 336212, with the solicitation number 36C26026Q0847, issued on July 28, 2026, and a response deadline of August 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EDT. The contract is intended for delivery to the Vancouver VA Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington, with FOB Destination terms, meaning risk of loss transfers to the government upon delivery at that location. The acquisition follows FAR Part 12 commercial items procedures under a firm-fixed-price contract structure, with evaluation based on price, technical merit, and past performance using a trade-off approach rather than lowest price technically acceptable. Offerors must be certified small businesses and must comply with extensive federal regulations including Buy American Act requirements, DEI non-discrimination clauses, whistleblower protections, and prohibitions on internal confidentiality agreements. Special requirements include strict adherence to supply chain security rules, banning use of Huawei or ZTE telecommunications equipment, monitoring for FASCSA orders, and immediate disclosure within 72 hours of any non-compliant items found in the supply chain. Contractors must also avoid transactions with sanctioned entities under OFAC regulations, including those tied to Iran, Sudan, Cuba, or North Korea, and are prohibited from engaging in transactions exceeding $15,000 with the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps or its affiliates. Invoicing must occur electronically via the Tungsten Network, and all proposals must include a valid UEI and CAGE code, completed SF-1449 form, Buy American certificate, and compliance with all representations and certifications regarding small business status and socioeconomic designations. Packaging and marking requirements are minimal, only requiring manufacturer, OEM, and wholesaler part numbers without specifying standards like MIL-STD-129 or packaging materials. No Contracting Officer’s Representative is identified, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is Amber Whisenhunt of the 36C260 Network Contract Office.
