Barnes Supply Co, Inc., based in Martinsville, Virginia, received a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) task order call from the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) on March 6, 2026, for the supply of Type II low-lint cleaning cloths conforming to military specification CID A-A-59323A. The award, valued at $1,675.80, calls for highly absorbent wiper cloths suitable for general use, packaged in boxes containing two five-pound bags per unit. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price task order call against the company's underlying single-award BPA valued at $5.5 million, effective through September 28, 2026. The procurement includes a first article inspection requirement to ensure compliance with military specifications before full delivery. This award was issued without set-aside designation, making it available through open competitive procurement, with an ultimate completion date of March 21, 2026.

Barnes Supply Co, Inc. operates as a specialized manufacturer of military-specification cleaning cloths for federal government customers, holding an active SAM.gov registration with continuous contractor status since 2003. The FAS "Other Than Schedule" BPA vehicle enables direct delivery of cleaning products to both military and civilian federal customers outside the standard GSA Schedule system, streamlining the acquisition process for agencies requiring these essential supplies. The company's product line consists of two precision-engineered cleaning cloth types—Type I ultra-clean wiper cloths for clean room environments and Type II general-use absorbent cloths—both meeting exacting federal specifications. The company has demonstrated sustained demand across federal agencies, with numerous task order awards issued throughout late 2025 and early 2026, reflecting the critical nature of these cleaning materials to government operations.
