Purchase Order 47QSWA26P0K7C

Rite-Kem, Inc., a Tupelo, Mississippi-based manufacturer of janitorial and specialty chemical products, was awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order valued at $9,525.00 by the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS), the civilian procurement arm of the General Services Administration. The contract, awarded on March 13, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of April 7, 2026, calls for the supply of mixed-color cotton and cotton-synthetic wiping rags weighing 3.0 to 10.0 ounces per yard, designed for removing water, oil, and grease from machinery and miscellaneous cleaning applications. The rags will be issued in fifty-pound bales with plastic packaging and packing materials prohibited. This award represents a call against Rite-Kem's existing Blanket Purchase Agreement with FAS, valued at $249,999 for the performance period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, which operates under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule program and the Janitorial, Sanitation, and Foodservice Supplies Integration (JANSAN FSSI) vehicle.

The contract was awarded without set-aside designation under full and open competition, reflecting Rite-Kem's established position as a prime contractor with more than two decades of continuous federal procurement registration. As a sole awardee on this purchase order with no documented subcontractor relationships, Rite-Kem will perform the work directly. The Federal Acquisition Service remains the funding agency and contracting vehicle, leveraging the BPA structure to enable efficient procurement of industrial consumables across federal civilian agencies while maintaining compliance with federal acquisition regulations.
