Barnes Supply Co, Inc.

Barnes Supply Co, Inc., headquartered in Martinsville, Virginia, manufactures and supplies low-lint cleaning cloths to the federal government as a prime contractor, competing exclusively under full-and-open (non-set-aside) procurement with the General Services Administration. The vendor is a for-profit corporate entity and a manufacturer of goods; it holds no SBA designations.

Barnes operates almost entirely on a single vehicle: the GSA Federal Acquisition Service's Blanket Purchase Agreement 47QSWA23T000C, a single-award BPA awarded September 29, 2023, with a $5.5 million ceiling running through September 28, 2027. This vehicle accounts for 7,080 of the vendor's 22,133 total awards, with $4.2 million in combined potential value. The BPA model creates exceptionally high ordering velocity—the vendor received roughly 3,000 individual BPA calls per year during 2022–2023, declining to 2,042 in 2026 as of mid-October. Each call is granular ($47 to $9,576 per call), with deliveries of boxed low-lint cleaning cloth conforming to military specification CID A-A-59323A (Type II absorbent cloths) or CID A-A-5932A (Type I ultra-clean wipers for clean rooms). Performance occurs in Martinsville, Virginia, with firm fixed pricing and no set-aside applied across all awards.

Customer concentration is extreme: GSA Federal Acquisition Service alone accounts for 21,561 awards (98% of awards) and $26.5 million (67% of combined potential value). The next-largest customer, the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command, generated only 48 awards totaling $3.3 million. Three additional DoN commands (Naval Sea Systems Command, Navy general, and one unspecified Navy entity) and the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command round out a minimal non-GSA footprint. The vendor's exposure is predominantly through the BPA; three other IDCs — GS07FT0031, GS07FN0093, and GS07FAA367 — account for 747 additional task orders and $10.8 million, but these are secondary to the dominant BPA vehicle.

Activity remains steady: 2,042 awards in 2026 (as of mid-October) follows a slight dip in 2024 (1,672 awards) after averaging 2,700+ awards annually in 2022–2023. The combined potential value across all awards stands at $39.6 million, with $25.2 million obligated (64% realization rate), reflecting the granular, call-by-call nature of BPA ordering. The recompete cliff is minimal: only $10 thousand in combined potential value across 34 awards reaching completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's code concentration centers on NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Textile Product Mills, 21,466 awards) and PSC 7210 (Brooms, Brushes, Mops, and Sponges, 15,051 awards), confirming a narrow product portfolio of industrial textile supplies. No subcontract activity appears in the source; Barnes operates as a pure prime on all federal work.
