About the company
Chem-Aqua Inc., a for-profit water treatment solutions manufacturer and subsidiary of NCH Corporation's Chemsearch Division based in Irving, Texas, delivers water treatment chemicals, laboratory analysis, field testing, equipment sales, and emergency response services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on a full-and-open basis with no SBA set-aside certifications. The company operates predominantly as a prime (97% of awards) across 57 distinct federal customer agencies, with 581 recent awards combining to $48.6 million in potential value and $10.1 million in obligations.
Chem-Aqua's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward correctional and healthcare facilities. The Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons dominates by award count — Federal Correctional Institution Cumberland alone accounts for 89 awards ($840 thousand combined potential value), Federal Correctional Institution McDowell for 37 awards ($634 thousand), and the Medical Center for Federal Prisoners Springfield for 23 awards ($676 thousand). By dollar value, the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 19 leads at $1.3 million across nine awards, followed closely by VISN 7 at $974 thousand across 22 awards. Recent representative work includes a $780 thousand definitive contract with VA VISN 16 for continuous water monitoring service at Little Rock, Arkansas (awarded June 2026, running through June 2031); a $603.2 thousand delivery order from the Joint Munitions Command for water boiler chemicals at Pine Bluff Arsenal (awarded February 2022, extending through February 2027); a $468 thousand definitive contract with VA VISN 17 for water monitoring system service at Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System (awarded May 2023, completing May 2026); and recurring monthly water treatment chemical orders to Federal Correctional Institution McDowell ranging from $3,971 to $39,901 per delivery order through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.
Chem-Aqua's primary federal vehicle is the GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QSWA23D009E, awarded September 1, 2023, with a $17.78 million ceiling running through August 31, 2028. This schedule has generated 432 task orders worth $7.8 million in combined potential value since award and serves as the parent for the majority of Chem-Aqua's delivery orders across civilian agencies. The vendor also holds single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, including prior agreements valued at $300,253.20 and $647,495.80 for specialized services such as chlorine dioxide water tank testing and boiler/chiller plant treatments. Additional parent vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C25920D0043 (5 task orders, $416 thousand), Indefinite Delivery Contract 36C24221D0147 (4 task orders, $191 thousand), and the Food Service, Hospitality, Cleaning, Equipment and Supplies, Chemicals and Services vehicle (5 task orders, $127 thousand).
Activity has grown modestly year over year — 13 awards in 2022 to 20 in 2026 — with five awards combining for $884 thousand in potential value reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing moderate recompete exposure. The vendor's award portfolio concentrates in NAICS 444 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing) across 444 awards, with secondary concentrations in water supply systems, HVAC contracting, and organic chemical manufacturing. PSC coding reflects the same pattern: 256 awards under Chemicals, 37 under Water Purification Equipment, and 30 under Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties.
Chem-Aqua operates as a subcontractor to prime contractors including South Dade Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Inc., Emcor Government Services Inc., M.C. Dean Inc., and CMI Management LLC, delivering water treatment services as part of broader facilities maintenance and operations contracts. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal activity — four sub-records across FY2022 through FY2025 with zero reported FTE equivalents, indicating that Chem-Aqua's federal service revenue falls either below the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold or is delivered primarily as goods and micro-purchases rather than labor-based services. The vendor's federal contracting presence dates to at least 2002, with consistent annual award volume across both correctional institutions and VA healthcare facilities.
