Chemdaq, Inc.

Chemdaq, Inc., operating as Chemdaq Inc., is a Pittsburgh-based for-profit manufacturer of advanced scientific monitoring equipment that serves the federal government exclusively as a prime contractor on sterilization and chemical vapor detection systems, with 100% of its 364 awards issued as prime contracts (zero subcontract work). The company competes predominantly full-and-open rather than under set-aside categories, though it qualifies for and occasionally receives Total Small Business designations on smaller orders; recent Total Small Business awards range from $16,006 to $108,244 across multiple Veterans Integrated Service Networks.

Chemdaq's customer base shows extreme concentration within the Department of Veterans Affairs healthcare system. The top five VISN units account for 41% of all awards by count, with VISN 23, VISN 9, VISN 4, VISN 12, and VISN 20 leading volume, while the dollar ranking surfaces VISN 15 ($1.1 million), VISN 23 ($1 million), and VISN 22 ($1 million) as the highest-value customers within a portfolio of 22 distinct federal agencies. The VA dominates across both metrics — the company has worked with individual VISNs since 2007, and 41% of recent awards cluster within five VA healthcare networks. Chemdaq also holds contracts with the Office of Administrative Services Procurement Management Branch (Federal Supply) and the Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service, but VA healthcare facilities remain the overwhelming bulk of federal revenue.

The company's concrete capability portfolio centers on proprietary Steri-Trac monitoring systems for sterilization process tracking, hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid vapor detection equipment, sensor calibration and maintenance services, and equipment installation and staff training. Representative recent awards include a $193,403 purchase order from VISN 15 (December 2025) for chemical monitoring systems maintenance and services under sole-source authority; a $111,486 delivery order from VISN 10 (May 2026) for ChemDAQ air monitoring systems at Cincinnati VAMC under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; a $84,289 firm fixed-price purchase order from VISN 20 (April 2025) for a Steri-Trac 2 system with on-site commissioning and training under Total Small Business set-aside; and a $141,718 purchase order from VISN 17 (July 2023) for Sensor Exchange Program maintenance services supporting sterilization tracking at Dallas-area VA facilities.

Chemdaq sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule as its dominant parent vehicle, with 223 task orders carrying $5.9 million in combined potential value. The company also maintains a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with VISN 19 (awarded September 1, 2025, ceiling $67,898, running through August 31, 2030) for Steri-Trac 2 sensors, calibration, and maintenance services — a sole-source procurement explicitly targeting Chemdaq's proprietary Sensor Exchange Program. A secondary GSA schedule (Federal Supply Schedule GS07F0134V) carries 35 task orders worth $1.2 million. Place of performance is primarily Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (headquarters), with performance also occurring at individual VA medical centers in multiple states including Montana, Texas, Ohio, Minnesota, Missouri, Delaware, and New York.

Activity has remained relatively flat, ranging from 7 to 16 awards annually over the past five years (2022: 13 awards, 2023: 12, 2024: 8, 2025: 16, 2026: 7 to date). Awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.2 million across 18 contracts, representing modest recompete exposure concentrated on routine sensor maintenance, calibration, and equipment replacement orders. Combined potential value across the entire 364-award footprint is $20.2 million, with $9.5 million obligated (47% of potential). The company has received no federal grant awards and has not undertaken subcontract work in the source data.

NAICS classification shows dual concentration: 228 awards fall under Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Rental and Leasing (likely reflecting lease-to-own or equipment-as-a-service structures on MAS vehicles), while 80 awards use Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (NAICS 334519, explicitly cited in Blanket Purchase Agreement and purchase order descriptions). PSC codes reinforce sterilization and chemical detection focus, with 81 awards coded to Maintenance/Repair/Rebuild of Medical/Dental/Veterinary Equipment, 69 to Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus, and 67 to Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.

ChemDAQ's Steri-Trac toxic gas monitoring system is the optimal solution for workplace safety assurance, protecting personnel from serious health effects associated with exposure to toxic gases.
