About Detectachem Inc.
Detectachem Inc., doing business as Detectachem LLC, manufactures and sells handheld detection systems and colorimetric test kits for explosives, narcotics, and chemical analysis to federal law enforcement and security agencies, operating as a small business prime contractor on 94% of recent awards with no SBA set-aside certifications but competing on a mix of small business set-asides and full-and-open procurements.
Based in Sugar Land, Texas, Detectachem is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation with a named subsidiary, Mobiledetect Bio Inc., also a for-profit manufacturer. The vendor's federal footprint spans 68 awards (64 prime, 4 sub) valued at $23.6 million in combined potential value, with $9.6 million obligated to date. The company has maintained active SAM.gov registration since October 2006 and competes under total small business set-asides on roughly one-third of recent awards, with the remainder awarded full-and-open. Recent representative prime work includes a $129.1 million Transportation Security Administration sole-source purchase order (September 2024) for 100,000 MobileDetect X ECP colorimetric test pouches; a $143.7 million Air Force total small business set-aside (August 2023) for eight SEEKERe-MDK explosive and narcotics detection devices supporting the 502nd Special Forces Group; and a $69.1 million TSA purchase order (September 2025) for colorimetric test kits at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Customer concentration tilts sharply toward Navy programs. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command dominates both award count (15 awards) and dollar value ($17 million combined potential value), while the Department of the Navy Strategic Systems Programs adds six awards worth $4 million. This pair accounts for 94% of combined potential value across all awards. The Transportation Security Administration follows as the second-most-active customer by count (8 awards, $312 thousand), with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Air Force, and the Air National Guard rounding out the active set. Navy work flows primarily through two indefinite delivery contracts: N0017418D0001 (5 task orders, $6.4 million combined potential value) and N0016414DJQ53 (7 task orders, $311 thousand). Detectachem also sits on the Federal Supply Schedule GS07F215CA, which carries 7 task orders worth $245 thousand.
Activity accelerated in 2024–2026, rising from two awards in 2023 to ten in 2026 year-to-date. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is minimal (one award, $25 thousand combined potential value), indicating most recent awards either carry completion dates beyond July 2028 or have already closed. In its subcontractor role, Detectachem delivers SEEKERe detection equipment to Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC on Naval Nuclear Laboratory and Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program management contracts (awarded March 2026 and February 2026) and supplies trace drug detection systems to Atlantic Diving Supply, Inc. (October 2024). Product lines named across the award portfolio include the APEX Raman Spectrometer and APEX Spectrometer for narcotics and chemical analysis, SEEKERe and SEEKERe-MDK colorimetric detection devices, MobileDetect X ECP test pouches, TRU NARC ANALYZER narcotics identification systems, and SFS detection kits for explosive detection. The vendor's primary NAICS categories span Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (22 awards) and Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (18 awards), with PSC concentration in Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus (15 awards) and Chemical Analysis Instruments (11 awards).
