BACKGROUND:
In April 2021, San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) completed a Request for Proposals for laundry - linen rental services. Emerald Textiles was determined the best fit based on its range of services.
DISCUSSION:
SMMC has a continuing need for laundry - linen rental services since it has been determined to be more cost effective to rent linens and have it cleaned by the vendor than to take this service in house.
