Food Service, Hospitality, Cleaning, Equipment and Supplies, Chemicals and Services (FSS-73)

The GSA Federal Acquisition Service established this Master GSA Schedule on December 15, 1994, covering food service, hospitality, cleaning, equipment, supplies, chemicals, and related services across 69 subcategories. Ordering against this vehicle closed on December 23, 2023, making it inactive for new task orders.

The vehicle is no longer accepting orders and has reached the end of its lifecycle. The solicitation (7FCM-C4-030073-B) was refreshed in June 2019 and closed on September 30, 2019 as part of GSA's consolidation of 24 existing MAS solicitations into a single Multiple Award Schedule in October 2019. The most recent task-order award dates to April 22, 2025, reflecting closeouts and modifications to prior orders rather than new procurement activity. Ordering momentum has collapsed; the vehicle issued only 2 task orders in 2024 and 1 in 2025, compared to 8 in 2021, indicating sharp decline well before the formal ordering deadline passed.

The portfolio encompasses cleaning chemicals and equipment (degreasers, disinfectants, vacuum cleaners, floor scrubbers, dispensing systems), food service equipment and smallwares (cooking equipment, refrigeration, food carts, kiosks, utensils, warewashing compounds), hospitality supplies (linens, hospitality wear, lodging supplies), and ancillary services. Recent task orders show heavy reliance on linens and textiles (Phoenix Textile Corporation supplying patient gowns, laundry replenishment, bed sheets), cleaning compounds, and floor equipment.

Rite-Kem, Inc. dominates by order count with 31,242 awards totaling $26.6 million combined potential value, though this represents a narrow 541% coverage metric indicating concentration. Ecolab Inc. ranks second with 9,111 orders and $49.6 million potential value and leads by potential value among top primes. Government Sales, LLC ($42.6 million), IFE Group ($41.4 million), and American Hotel Register Company ($28 million) round out the top tier by value. The 266 total distinct primes show a competitive field, though the top five capture a substantial share of both award count and value.

GSA Federal Acquisition Service itself is the dominant customer, placing 49,018 orders worth $57.5 million combined potential value—heavily skewing activity toward internal GSA distribution to other federal users. Department of the Army follows with 5,336 orders ($17.7 million), Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces with 3,723 orders ($10.7 million), and Army Materiel Command with 2,813 orders ($9.7 million). Military customers (Army and Navy components) account for a significant portion of remaining demand.

The vehicle was unrestricted; nearly all 10,000 task orders carry no set-aside designation. Small business awards total 2,046 orders (20% share), with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business the next largest subset at 315 orders (3%). The set-aside mix reflects a predominantly open competition environment.

Task-order values range widely, from under one hundred dollars to six-figure purchases. Representative recent orders span $198 (cigarette receptacle), $16,856 (scrubs processing and freight), $23,140 (three floor scrubbers for COVID-19), $68,521 (laundry replenishment), and $166,238 (dorm linens). The combined task-order potential value of $894 million has obligated $959.1 million (107% of potential value), indicating aggressive drawdown and overrun. The vehicle served 672 distinct customer agencies across the federal government.

This schedule offers a variety of cleaning equipment and accessories, and cleaning products for daily cleaning - products that keep facilities clean in an environmentally friendly manner. Housing Managers and Facility Managers will enjoy the full range of Hospitality Solutions under this Schedule. In addition, all food service needs from eating utensils to an entire custom designed food court kiosk concept that supports new branding initiatives are available.
