Laundry government contracts
In fiscal year 2026, federal agencies obligated $65.05M on laundry contracts so far (Defense contracts arrive about 90 days late, so the year's total is still rising). Department of Veterans Affairs bought the most, followed by Department of Defense. 3 laundry contract opportunities are open now on SAM.gov, and 19 contracts worth $98.78M with options end in the next 12 months.
Industrial laundry and linen services for VA medical centers, military hospitals and dining facilities.
Set-asides: at least 18% of FY2026's laundry contract dollars ($11.47M) went through contracts set aside for small businesses, most through small business and service-disabled veteran-owned set-asides. Many orders under larger contracts carry no set-aside code, so this counts only what is reported. How set-asides work →

How the government buys laundry work
- Hospital linen must meet health-care laundry standards for handling soiled and clean linen.
- Service contracts over $2,500 fall under the Service Contract Act: the solicitation includes a Department of Labor wage determination, the minimum wages and fringe benefits you must pay on the contract. Price from it, not from your commercial rates.
- Some laundry services are on the AbilityOne Procurement List.
Industry codes
Federal contracts are filed under NAICS industry codes. This page counts this one; each has its own page with every office that buys it and the newest awards.
