Chem-Trade International Inc.

Chem-Trade International Inc. is a corporate entity registered in SAM.gov since 2002, operating as a for-profit manufacturer of industrial chemicals and materials located in Washington, Pennsylvania. The company specializes in producing and supplying various chemical products to federal agencies, with a primary focus on serving the U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). As a small business manufacturer, Chem-Trade has established itself as a reliable supplier of specialized industrial chemicals and materials for government procurement.

The company has been awarded multiple federal contract purchase orders primarily from NAVSEA, covering a diverse range of chemical products. These contracts include supplies of carbon drum absorbers, activated carbon (coconut shell), caustic soda, propylene glycol, and sodium hydroxide solution. The contract awards have varied in size, ranging from $47,034 to $210,733, with some contracts designated as small business set-asides. Notably, Chem-Trade has consistently met technical specifications for these products, demonstrating expertise in manufacturing industrial chemicals that meet strict government requirements. The contracts have typically been firm fixed-price purchase orders with performance periods ranging from several months to a year.

Chem-Trade has secured a significant $5,000,000 single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with NAVSEA, effective from November 1, 2024, to June 15, 2029. This BPA covers the procurement of various industrial gases and chemicals, providing the company with a long-term contract vehicle to supply its specialized products to the U.S. Navy. The BPA does not utilize any specific set-asides and positions Chem-Trade as the sole prime contractor for fulfilling the government's requirements for industrial goods during the multi-year ordering period. This agreement represents a substantial opportunity for the company to continue providing critical chemical materials to support naval programs and operations.
