The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) awarded a task order call valued at $2,329.89 to Barnes Supply Co, Inc. for the supply of Type I ultra-clean, low-lint cleaning cloths conforming to military specification CID A-A-5932A. These wipers are specifically designed for clean room environments requiring minimal lint contamination and are packaged in boxes containing two five-pound bags per unit. The award was issued on March 9, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 24, 2026, under a firm fixed-price contract structure. This task order call is issued without a set-aside designation, indicating open competitive procurement. First article testing is required in accordance with paragraph 3.6 of the specification to ensure product compliance before delivery. The products are available for direct delivery to both military and civilian federal customers outside of the standard FAS schedule system.

This task order is executed under Barnes Supply Co, Inc.'s existing single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service, valued at $5.5 million and effective through September 28, 2026. The BPA, classified as an "Other Than Schedule" indefinite delivery vehicle, serves as the contractual foundation enabling federal agencies to streamline procurement of the company's specialized cleaning products without repeated full and open competitive processes. Barnes Supply Co, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer based in Martinsville, Virginia, has maintained continuous federal contractor status since December 2003 and specializes exclusively in the production of military-specification cleaning cloths. The company's narrow focus on two primary product lines—Type I clean room wipers and Type II general-use cloths—positions it as a specialized supplier to government agencies requiring high-performance cleaning materials for sensitive operational environments.
