About the company
Carus LLC, a woman-owned small business manufacturer of water treatment chemicals based in Peru, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor supplying specialized inorganic and organic chemicals to the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers and the Defense Logistics Agency. The vendor competes predominantly under full-and-open procurement (no set-aside awards in recent named work), despite holding woman-owned small business (WOSB) designation; the source notes the vendor qualifies as WOSB but awards explicitly carry "No Set-Aside Used" designations.
Carus LLC's federal footprint centers on two product families: phosphoric acid 75% and sodium permanganate, both critical water treatment chemicals. Recent representative awards include a $232,018.60 delivery order from the Department of Defense's Washington Aqueduct (issued by USACE Baltimore District) for sodium permanganate with ultimate completion in February 2027, a $665,680 delivery order from USACE Baltimore for Year 2 phosphoric acid 75% operations at Washington Aqueduct, and a $381,600 delivery order for phosphoric acid 75% issued in April 2024. The vendor holds two long-standing Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDCs) with USACE Baltimore: a $3.392 million IDC for phosphoric acid 75% with performance through August 2025 (set aside for small business), and a $1,107,585.05 IDC for sodium permanganate running through February 2028 (no set-aside).
Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Corps of Engineers. The top five customers account for 92% of recent awards, dominated by USACE Engineering District Baltimore (106 awards, $18.3 million combined potential value) and USACE Engineering District Norfolk (90 awards, $5.5 million), with USACE Washington Aqueduct (10 awards, $4.5 million) and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (17 awards, $169 thousand) rounding out the active set. The two rankings track closely — Baltimore and Norfolk drive both volume and dollar concentration — reflecting a consistent chemical-supply relationship across multiple districts. Over the last five years, award volume has declined from five awards in 2022 to one award in 2026 year-to-date; only one award with a $232 thousand combined potential value faces completion within the next twenty-four months.
Carus LLC's work is routed entirely through five parent IDCs: W912DR04D0026 (42 task orders), W9123611D0018 (34 task orders, $777 thousand combined potential value), W9123609D0012 (29 task orders, $2 million combined potential value), W912DR05D0047 (25 task orders, $136 thousand combined potential value), and W9123612D0017 (23 task orders, $687 thousand combined potential value). All task orders are delivery orders issued under these standing indefinite delivery vehicles. The vendor holds no sub-awards and operates exclusively as a prime. Work is performed at the Washington Aqueduct, Dalecarlia Water Treatment Plant, and McMillan Water Treatment Plant in Washington, D.C., and at facilities across the Norfolk District. The vendor's NAICS footprint is concentrated in inorganic and organic chemical manufacturing (All Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing: 139 awards; Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing: 52 awards), with PSC coding dominated by Chemicals (217 awards).
