Back in July 2016, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued a solicitation for laundry services in the Los Angeles area. After the closing date for receipt of quotations, the VA reopened the solicitation on September 1, 2016 to increase the maximum award amount from $2.5 million to $10 million. A month later the VA cancelled the solicitation and at the same time, extended the existing contract with the incumbent contractor, Railroad Cleaners.
