EP Scientific Products LLC

EP Scientific Products LLC Bio-Production Division manufactures and supplies specialized acid solutions in standardized polypropylene vials to federal scientific research institutions as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders with no set-aside designations. A wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Electron Corporation, EP Scientific is based in Miami, Oklahoma, and operates as a for-profit limited liability company classified under NAICS 326140 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing) and PSC Chemicals.

The vendor's federal footprint is singular and stable. Eighty-eight percent of awards derive from the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants, which represents 86 of 108 total prime awards and $3.7 million of the combined $5.6 million potential value across the vendor's portfolio. The remaining customer exposure splits between the Department of the Army Medical Command (8 awards, $333 thousand) and a single non-matching USGS award ($27 thousand). Both customer rankings converge — USGS dominates both volume and dollars with no tension between award count and value concentration.

EP Scientific operates on four primary single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts under USGS, each authorizing the contracting officer to place delivery orders for acid solutions supporting water quality analysis and laboratory research. The active contract, 140G0218D0004, has generated 30 task orders ($507 thousand combined potential value); contract ING13PC00051 has yielded 27 task orders ($530 thousand); contract ING09PC00026 has produced 21 task orders ($1.3 million); and contract 140G0224D0019 has executed 10 task orders ($218 thousand). A fifth single-award IDC valued at $445,000 and effective through September 15, 2026, directly supports the National Water Quality Laboratory in Denver, Colorado, with seven delivery orders executed between November 2024 and June 2026. Recent representative work includes a $34,008 delivery order awarded June 25, 2026, for 2.0 milliliters of 7.5-7.7N Ultrex grade nitric acid solution and 1 milliliter of 4.5N trace metal grade sulfuric acid solution in 4.5 milliliter polypropylene copolymer screw cap vials, due August 7, 2026; a $35,174.40 order from April 21, 2026, for similar acid solutions; and a $32,294.40 order from April 16, 2025, for the same product mix. All delivery orders are firm fixed-price with no set-aside designation and performance at Miami, Oklahoma.

Activity has remained steady at two to five awards per year over the past five years, with only one award (combined potential value $34 thousand) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete risk. The vendor has executed 108 prime awards spanning more than two decades, with obligations reaching $2.6 million (46% of combined potential value). EP Scientific operates entirely as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint, supplying trace metal grade sulfuric acid, Ultrex grade nitric acid, Omni Trace hydrochloric acid, and related chemical solutions exclusively to federal research and laboratory customers.
