NAICS 325611 in numbers
The Defense Commissary Agency dominates federal soap and detergent purchasing, accounting for 108 awards totaling $1.19B since 2001. GSA schedule contracts drive volume through multiple acquisition centers, with nearly 50,000 awards on record. Most sales go through unrestricted competition, though a small number of set-asides exist for SBA, service-disabled veteran, and women-owned small businesses. Buyers range from military commissaries to federal agencies purchasing through GSA schedules.
A firm considering this market should know that 281 vendors have won awards over 26 years, suggesting moderate competition. The median award of $163 reflects the high-volume, low-value nature of GSA schedule sales, where thousands of small orders accumulate. The Defense Commissary Agency's $1.19B total shows that large, stable contracts exist for suppliers who can meet military specifications and delivery requirements, but most vendors will see many small transactions rather than few large ones.
Watch for the 936 contracts expiring within 12 months worth $9.78M. These represent immediate rebid opportunities. The single active notice suggests limited new procurement activity at present. Suppliers should monitor GSA schedule renewals and Defense Commissary Agency solicitations, as these two buyers account for the vast majority of federal soap and detergent spending.
