RITE-KEM, INC.

RITE-KEM, INC. specializes in the manufacturing and supply of industrial-grade cleaning compounds, floor finishes, and specialized cleaning tools for federal procurement channels. Their core capabilities center on the formulation and production of detergents, polishes, and sanitation products compliant with military and federal specifications, including MIL-D-16791G for nonionic surfactant-based detergents. They produce a range of application-specific cleaning implements such as dusting brushes, wire scratch brushes, plater’s hand brushes, and cleaning cloths, demonstrating expertise in both chemical formulation and precision tool manufacturing. Their technical proficiency spans surface chemistry, solvent compatibility, and finish durability, with particular strength in oil-soluble formulations and high-performance floor coatings like midnight shine black floor finish. This dual capability in chemical products and associated hardware enables integrated cleaning system solutions tailored for institutional and military environments. The company maintains a dominant relationship with the General Services Administration, consistently supplying cleaning and maintenance consumables under GSA Schedule contracts. Their work for GSA includes standardized, high-volume procurement of mission-critical cleaning supplies used across federal facilities, indicating deep familiarity with federal cataloging, specification adherence, and logistics compliance. While they have minimal activity with the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services, their GSA focus suggests a strategic positioning as a reliable vendor for general maintenance and facility support requirements. RITE-KEM’s primary industry focus is in soap and detergent manufacturing (NAICS 325611), complemented by production of office supplies and sanitation goods under NAICS 339940 and 325612. This positions them as a niche supplier of institutional cleaning solutions rather than consumer products, serving government and institutional custodial needs with specification-driven, non-retail items. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Tupelo, Mississippi, RITE-KEM operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused, repeatable supply chain for federal facility maintenance. Their geographic footprint is centralized, with operations aligned to serve the logistical demands of federal procurement networks.
