Maryland Chemical Company, Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland, has been awarded a delivery order valued at $521,436 by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for the supply of 50% caustic soda (sodium hydroxide solution). This delivery order was issued on April 1, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027, and carries a total small business set-aside designation. The award is issued under Maryland Chemical's existing $4.6 million Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Bureau, which was established on September 1, 2022, to procure sodium hydroxide caustic soda solution supporting the Bureau's currency production and alkaline cleaning operations at its facilities in Curtis Bay and Washington D.C. The IDIQ contract incorporates economic price adjustment provisions and utilizes firm fixed-price pricing for individual delivery orders.

Maryland Chemical has established itself as a critical supplier of industrial and specialty chemicals to multiple federal agencies since its registration as a federal contractor in October 2001. The company's caustic soda products directly support the Bureau of Engraving and Printing's manufacturing processes for U.S. currency production. Beyond this civilian agency relationship, Maryland Chemical maintains significant contracting relationships with the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Surface Warfare Center, and U.S. Army Installation Management Command, providing diverse chemical solutions including mixed acids, soda ash, and wastewater treatment chemicals. The current delivery order represents continued procurement activity under the established IDIQ vehicle, reflecting the Bureau's ongoing operational requirements for chemical inputs essential to its core mission.
