Amerochem Corporation

Amerochem Corporation, doing business as Amerochem Corp, a veteran-owned small business based in New Bern, North Carolina, manufactures and supplies industrial and water treatment chemicals to the U.S. Marine Corps as a prime contractor on delivery orders and indefinite-delivery contracts. Amerochem is a subsidiary of Hawkins, Inc., a Minnesota-based chemical manufacturer with extensive federal water and wastewater treatment experience. The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open, though it holds a small number of Total Small Business set-aside awards leveraging its veteran-owned designation.

The Marine Corps dominates Amerochem's customer base overwhelmingly—780 of 814 total awards (99% of award count) and $72.9 million of $77 million combined potential value (95% of dollars). Secondary customer agencies include the Department of the Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, General Services Administration, and the Department of State Bureau of African Affairs, but these represent marginal activity. Amerochem's capability portfolio centers on commodity chemicals for water treatment and facility operations: sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide (pH adjustment), sulfuric acid, liquid aluminum sulfate (coagulants), methanol, rock salt (de-icing), calcium hypochlorite granular, sodium bisulfite liquid, sodium fluoride, and the proprietary Aqua Mag Carus 8600 water treatment system. Representative prime awards include a $6.8 million single-award IDC for Camp Lejeune chemicals running through December 2027 (awarded June 2025), a $7.4 million single-award IDC for sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide to Camp Lejeune through June 2025 (awarded June 2023), and a $933 thousand delivery order for base-year Camp Lejeune chemicals through September 2025. Amerochem holds five active indefinite-delivery vehicles with the Marine Corps: the largest two—M6700115D0007 and M6700118D0004—carry 169 and 163 task orders respectively totaling $3.7 million and $4 million in combined potential value. Most task orders are priced as firm-fixed-price with economic price adjustment clauses to account for commodity cost volatility. Places of performance cluster at Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, and Marine Corps Base New River in eastern North Carolina, with administrative performance in New Bern.

Activity has declined year over year—39 awards in 2022 to 3 awards through March 2026—reflecting the transition from high-frequency small delivery orders to larger-ceiling IDCs that generate fewer but higher-value task orders. Award frequency dropped sharply from 28 awards in 2023 to 18 in 2024 to 15 in 2025, a trajectory consistent with contract consolidation into single-award vehicles rather than loss of Marine Corps customer preference. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months stands at only $48 thousand of combined potential value across three awards, a low-risk exposure profile. Amerochem holds 100% prime posture—no subcontract footprint is recorded. Category concentration is tight: Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing (NAICS 325180) accounts for 581 of 814 awards; Chemicals (PSC 6800) accounts for 773 awards. The vendor's 814-award portfolio reflects heavy transaction volume against a narrow set of standing IDICs rather than competitive breadth across multiple customers or contract vehicles.
