Purchase Order 47QSWA26P0FEK

The Federal Acquisition Service awarded a purchase order valued at $1,540 to Rite-Kem, Inc., a Tupelo, Mississippi-based manufacturer of janitorial and specialty chemical products, for cotton and cotton-synthetic wiping rags in mixed colors weighing 3.0 to 10.0 ounces per yard. The rags are intended for general-purpose cleaning applications including removal of water, oil, and grease from machinery and miscellaneous equipment, packaged in fifty-pound bales without plastic wrapping. The contract was awarded on February 20, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 12, 2026, and operates under a firm fixed-price structure with no set-aside designation, indicating full and open competition.

This award represents a task order call against Rite-Kem's broader Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Federal Acquisition Service, valued at $249,999 and effective through June 30, 2026, with a potential one-year extension option. The BPA operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program and specifically authorizes the JANSAN FSSI (Janitorial, Sanitation, and Foodservice Supplies Integration) vehicle for direct delivery to both military and civilian federal agencies. As a long-established federal contractor since 2001, Rite-Kem maintains an extensive product catalog spanning janitorial supplies, cleaning compounds, safety equipment, industrial consumables, and office supplies, serving as a prime contractor for the Federal Acquisition Service without documented subcontractor relationships.
