Hach Company

Hach Company, doing business as Hach Co, is a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (parent company Veralto Corporation as of corporate restructuring) that manufactures and distributes analytical instruments and water quality testing equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor across full-and-open procurement, with no reliance on small-business set-asides. Headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, Hach operates under primary NAICS 333310 (Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing) and PSC codes for laboratory equipment, chemical analysis instruments, and measuring devices. The company competes on proprietary technology across a diversified federal customer base spanning 224 agencies, with no single set-aside category characterizing its federal footprint.

Hach's concrete capability portfolio centers on water quality monitoring equipment, analytical instrumentation, and field servicing. The company manufactures nitrate analyzers (including SUNA models), phosphate sensors, turbidimeters, spectrophotometers, chlorine monitoring systems, conductivity probes, and related calibration reagents, along with bench service maintenance, repair, and calibration support. Representative prime work includes a $392,587.36 delivery order from the U.S. Geological Survey (July 2026) for water quality testing equipment under the USGS's $9 million IDIQ; a $335,470.73 purchase order from the same USGS for bench service maintenance through August 2028; a $148,203.58 purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs (September 2025) for a chlorine analyzer and preventive maintenance at the Salem VA Medical Center; and a $50,545.68 purchase order from the Defense Health Agency (July 2024) for water quality monitoring services at Camp Pendleton through July 2027.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Department of the Interior. The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants dominates the portfolio with 359 awards (14% of total) worth $36.1 million combined potential value—representing 29% of the company's total federal dollar potential. The gap between volume and value is material: the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command places the second-highest count at 58 awards but only $295 thousand in potential value, indicating transactional, low-dollar purchases (reagents, test kits, small components). In contrast, the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command ranks third in potential value at $3.3 million across 41 awards, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command third in count at 30 awards worth $1.2 million. Together, the top five customers by potential value account for 34% of combined potential value; USGS alone represents nearly 30% of the total federal portfolio.

Hach holds three named parent vehicles positioning it across civilian and defense procurement. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded February 1, 2026, ceiling $32.4 million, extending through January 31, 2031) represents the company's primary multi-agency vehicle, generating 418 task orders worth $7.6 million combined potential value since award. The $9 million USGS Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract (140G0123D0002, awarded November 23, 2022, extending through September 30, 2027) anchors the civilian water-resource business, with 61 delivery orders worth $6 million combined potential value and individual order sizes ranging from $11,400 to $414,600. The Department of the Army's Service Guardian Blue single-award indefinite delivery contract (awarded September 21, 2023, ceiling $219,812, extending through September 2026) provides the defense water-quality foothold, primarily at Fort Drum, New York. Hach also maintains a Navy Installations Command indefinite delivery vehicle worth $394,085 documented in summaries but not detailed in the IDV block. A fourth parent vehicle, ING17PC00025, has generated 96 delivery orders worth $4.3 million and appears to be a legacy USGS or Interior contract vehicle based on usage patterns.

Activity has remained relatively flat across the past five years (35 awards in 2022, 38 in 2023, 30 in 2024, 37 in 2025, 25 in 2026 year-to-date as of September 30), averaging roughly 33 awards per year. The recompete cliff over the next twenty-four months is modest: 17 awards with ultimate completion dates in that window carry combined potential value of $1.1 million. The company's USGS IDIQ and GSA Schedule represent the primary vehicles requiring recompete or renewal activity through 2027 and 2031, respectively.

Hach subcontracts to prime contractors in specialized defense and nuclear contexts. Named sub-award primes include Fluor Marine Propulsion LLC (multiple modifications to Naval Nuclear Laboratory management and operations contracts valued in the billions, with Hach supplying Orbisphere equipment and related instrumentation) and Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp. (a water treatment technology demonstration grant involving NextGen nitrogen removal). These sub-relationships are atypical of Hach's federal posture; the company operates overwhelmingly as a prime contractor (100% of awards by count in the portfolio are prime or IDV).

Hach received no federal grant awards in the source data; all activity is contract-based, with the single sub-grant relationship embedded in a Black & Veatch prime grant award.
