Some healthcare laundry bids reference the Healthcare Laundry Accreditation Council standard, expecting the laundry to process to an accredited level. A dealer reading the bid needs to know what the standard asks of the equipment.

What the reference means

When a bid references HLAC accredited processing, it points to a recognized standard for handling and processing healthcare textiles, covering the flow, the wash process, and the controls. The equipment must support a laundry operating to that standard.

Why it decides the award

Equipment that does not support an accredited process makes the laundry unable to meet the bid. The agent extracts the accreditation reference, the process expectations behind it, and what the equipment must support so a dealer offers a configuration that fits.
