About the company
J & L Hermes Supply LLC, doing business as Birsch Industries, is a veteran-owned small business manufacturer of cleaning products and maintenance, repair, and operations goods that operates exclusively as a prime contractor supplying commercial cleaning compounds to the GSA Federal Acquisition Service through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and blanket purchase agreements. Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, the company structures itself as a limited liability partnership classified as a for-profit organization and competes in full-and-open procurements without set-aside designations.
Birsch Industries' federal work centers on manufacturing and delivering Commercial Item Description-compliant janitorial and sanitation products to federal civilian and military facilities. The company's product portfolio spans concentrated hand dishwashing detergents meeting CID A-A-59998 (four eight-pound jars per box), toilet soap, scale-removing compounds for dishwashers meeting CID A-A-59966 (four one-gallon containers per box), oven cleaning compounds, utility disinfectants meeting CID A-A-60009, rinse additives for automatic dishwashing machines, and specialized products such as concentrated pre-soaking powder for silver tableware meeting CID A-A-59976. Representative awards include a $6,751 BPA call for toilet soap (April 2026, GSA Federal Acquisition Service), a $5,573 BPA call for rinse additive for dishwashing machines (July 2025), a $5,299.20 purchase order for silver-cleaning compound (July 2025), and a $4,247 BPA call for high-temperature dishwashing detergent (May 2026).
Birsch Industries' customer base is entirely concentrated with the GSA Federal Acquisition Service—all 327 awards in the past several years have been issued by FAS. The vendor holds two primary contract vehicles: a Multiple Award Schedule contract with an approximate ceiling of $3.1 million (through July 2025, though award dates through September 2026 indicate potential renewal or extension) and a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with a $249,999 ceiling extending through October 13, 2026. The 220 task orders placed against the MAS vehicle carry a combined potential value of approximately $400,000. Across both vehicles, BPA calls and purchase orders for specific cleaning products are issued on a frequent, routine basis—the source reflects 327 awards spanning from July 2020 to September 2026.
Activity volume has remained consistent over the past five years, averaging 63 awards annually, with recent years showing 84 awards in 2023, 51 in 2024, 52 in 2025, and 55 through September 2026. Award ceiling values are typically small—ranging from $67 to $7,254 for individual purchase orders and BPA calls—reflecting the nature of routine consumable procurement. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $3.6 million, though only $227,000 has been obligated (6% of potential), suggesting many orders remain unfilled or carry zero-dollar line items. The vendor performs all work as prime without subcontracting; no sub-award activity appears in the source.
Birsch Industries competes in a commodity market with no set-aside protections, meaning it pursues all GSA FAS awards through full-and-open competition. The concentration of all federal work with a single customer and the prevalence of small-dollar, routine orders indicate a stable but narrow federal footprint driven by GSA's role as a centralized procurement vehicle for janitorial supplies across the civilian and military agencies it serves.
