Laundry Compressor Replacement 36C25626Q0337

Replace the laundry facility’s compressed-air system by installing new compressors and desiccant dryers to supply dry, reliable air to all pneumatic equipment, including the 8-pocket tunnel washer. This system supports laundry operations for two VA facilities, eight CBOCs, and Little Rock Air Force Base, and all major plant equipment relies on compressed air. With both dryers down, moisture is entering the air lines, requiring daily manual draining to keep the rail system operational.

There are 25 MAC valves in the system (valued at $1,500 each), of which three have already failed and several more are showing signs of imminent failure, indicating a need to address pneumatic components as part of the replacement. The notice does not specify brand-name requirements or site visits; the scope is likely to include replacing compressors and dryers and related valves to restore reliable operation across the affected sites.
