Chemical Ventures Inc.

Chemical Ventures Inc., a woman-owned small disadvantaged business manufacturer based in Richboro, Pennsylvania, supplies specialized chemical formulations for coin and medal manufacturing to the United States Mint as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards). The company operates as a Subchapter S for-profit corporation primarily under NAICS 333700 (Soap and Other Detergent Manufacturing) and PSC codes for chemical products and cleaning compounds, competing in full-and-open federal procurements without set-aside designations.

Chemical Ventures operates on a single-customer model with complete concentration at the Department of the Treasury's United States Mint. Of 144 total awards recorded in the source data spanning from 2004 through May 2026, 130 awards (90% of total count) and $5.2 million in combined potential value derive from the Mint, representing 95% of the vendor's combined potential value across all federal work. The company's federal award footprint totals $5.5 million in combined potential value, with 100% obligated across all awards — indicative of a steady-state supply relationship rather than growth trajectory or speculative ceiling amounts.

Chemical Ventures' product portfolio centers on proprietary chemical formulations tailored to the Mint's coin blank production, burnishing, and finishing processes. Named products across recent purchase orders include AC-67 (a specialized burnishing chemical), DM-2009 (a saturated citric-formula cleaner), slippery water (a quenching and lubricant solution), DI-rinse (deionized rinsing fluid), and citric-formula cleaners. Recent representative awards include a $249,550.84 purchase order from the Mint (May 16, 2025) for AC-67 cleaning solution with performance through July 24, 2026; a $185,206 order (April 16, 2025) for chemical solutions for burnishing; and a $40,371.92 purchase order (May 1, 2026) for slippery water and DM-2009 chemicals with performance ending May 31, 2026. All awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders with no set-aside designation, reflecting Chemical Ventures' role as a sole-source specialized supplier.

Activity has contracted materially in recent years — seven awards in 2022, declining to three in 2024 and four in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026 through the source data date. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $435 thousand, presenting limited recompete exposure. Chemical Ventures maintains no subcontract footprint and serves no other federal customer agencies beyond the Mint.
