Purchase Order 47QSWA26P0BLA

The Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) awarded a purchase order valued at $2,772.00 to Rite-Kem, Inc., a Tupelo, Mississippi-based janitorial and specialty chemical supplier, for wiping rags manufactured from cotton and cotton-synthetic blends. The rags, specified at 3.0 to 10.0 ounces per square yard, are intended for industrial cleaning applications including the removal of water, oil, and grease from machinery and miscellaneous cleaning tasks. The unit of issue is fifty-pound bales with plastic packaging prohibited. The contract is structured as a firm fixed-price purchase order with an ultimate completion date of February 15, 2026. This award was issued without set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition.

This purchase order represents a call against Rite-Kem's broader Blanket Purchase Agreement with FAS, valued at $249,999 and effective through June 30, 2026. The underlying BPA operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) program and the Janitorial, Sanitation, and Foodservice Supplies Integration (JANSAN FSSI) program, enabling federal agencies across both military and civilian sectors to access Rite-Kem's comprehensive product catalog. As the prime contractor, Rite-Kem has demonstrated sustained federal procurement capability since 2001, with a diversified portfolio spanning janitorial supplies, sanitation products, specialty chemicals, safety equipment, and industrial consumables delivered through various contract vehicles without documented subcontractor relationships.
