Mill Wiping Rags, Inc.

Mill Wiping Rags, Inc., based in Bronx, New York, manufactures and supplies cotton and cotton-synthetic wiping rags for federal agencies as a prime contractor under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and a high-volume single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement. The company operates in full-and-open competition without set-aside designations, competing across all federal civilian and military procurement channels. Mill Wiping Rags is a for-profit corporate entity with no documented SBA certifications or minority-ownership designations.

The vendor's core capability is the production and delivery of industrial-grade wiping rags specified at 2.0 to 7.0 ounces per square yard, supplied in 50-pound bales without plastic packaging, for removal of water, oil, and grease from machinery and miscellaneous cleaning. Representative work includes thousands of BPA calls under GSA's Blanket Purchase Agreement Service and Special Ordering Service programs offering direct delivery to both military and civilian customers outside standard Federal Acquisition Service channels. Individual task order ceilings range from $32 to $8,684, with recent examples including $6,078.80 (September 30, 2026), $6,516.00 (August 20, 2026), and $4,724.10 (August 11, 2026). The vendor also holds position on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which has generated 10,954 task orders worth $9.6 million in combined potential value.

Customer concentration is extreme and heavily tilted toward GSA. The General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service accounts for 11,965 awards (61% of all awards) with $36 million in combined potential value (96% of the vendor's total dollar footprint). The Department of the Army is the second-largest customer by award count at 4,805 awards but carries only $7 thousand in combined potential value — reflecting the commodity nature of the supply relationship. The Department of the Navy (Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Pacific Fleet Forces) collectively holds 1,426 awards worth $335 thousand. All other agencies represent a negligible share.

Mill Wiping Rags holds two primary vehicle positions. The master Blanket Purchase Agreement (GS07FBPAMW), a single-award vehicle expiring November 9, 2026, has generated 22,287 task orders since November 2022 — the primary driver of the vendor's federal footprint. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) parent vehicle carries 10,954 task orders worth $9.6 million. A third vehicle, Food Service, Hospitality, Cleaning, Equipment and Supplies, Chemicals and Services, accounts for 4,106 task orders worth $24.8 million in combined potential value.

Activity has been consistently high and stable. The vendor received 1,301 awards in 2022, 1,420 in 2023, 1,447 in 2024, 1,503 in 2025, and 953 year-to-date through October 2026 — representing typical commodity-ordering velocity across federal agencies. The single-award BPA expires November 9, 2026, presenting a significant recompete cliff; renewal or replacement of this vehicle would affect the vendor's access to the bulk of its federal revenue stream. Year-to-date obligated dollars total $20.2 million against a combined potential value of $37.8 million across all awards (53% obligation rate), consistent with the active draw-down pattern of commodity supply contracts.

Mill Wiping Rags operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. The vendor's categorization is dominated by PSC 7930-50 (Brooms, Brushes, Mops, and Sponges), which accounts for 34,530 of 34,539 total awards, with minor exposure to cleaning and polishing compounds. NAICS alignment centers on Narrow Fabric Mills (24,505 awards), Broom, Brush, and Mop Manufacturing (5,479 awards), and Nonwoven Fabric Mills (4,499 awards).
