Purchase Order 47QSWA26P0C2G

On January 26, 2026, the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), the civilian procurement arm of the General Services Administration, awarded a purchase order valued at $1,155.00 to Rite-Kem, Inc., a Tupelo, Mississippi-based manufacturer of janitorial, sanitation, and specialty chemical products. The contract calls for the delivery of cotton and cotton-synthetic blend wiping rags in mixed colors, weighing 3.0 to 10.0 ounces per square yard, packaged in fifty-pound bales for use in wiping water, oil, and grease from machinery and miscellaneous cleaning applications. The rags are specified with part number 1711MIXED COTTON and must be delivered without plastic packaging materials. This award carries no set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition among qualified vendors.

The purchase order represents a task order against Rite-Kem's existing Blanket Purchase Agreement with FAS, valued at $249,999 and effective through June 30, 2026, which operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program and the JANSAN FSSI (Janitorial, Sanitation, and Foodservice Supplies Integration) initiative. The work is to be performed in Tupelo, Mississippi, with an ultimate completion date of February 15, 2026. Rite-Kem, a Subchapter S corporation and established federal contractor with SAM.gov registration since 2001, serves as the prime contractor with no subcontractor relationships documented on this award. The company's extensive product portfolio and history of federal contracting positions it as a reliable supplier of industrial consumables and cleaning materials across civilian government agencies.
