Hach Company

Hach Company, doing business as Hach Co, a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (parent Veralto Corporation as of corporate restructuring), supplies analytical instruments, reagents, and water quality testing equipment to federal agencies as a prime contractor across over 2,500 awards with no small business set-asides. The company manufactures and distributes concrete water analysis products—nitrate analyzers, phosphate sensors, turbidimeters, spectrophotometers, chlorine monitoring systems, calibration reagents, and associated field servicing—and competes full-and-open across federal procurement, reflecting its proprietary technology position and established market dominance in specialized water quality instrumentation.

Hach's customer footprint concentrates heavily on civilian water-resource agencies. The top five funding organizations represent 21% of award count, with the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants anchoring the relationship at 358 awards worth $36.1 million combined potential value—the single largest customer by both volume and dollars. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (58 awards, $295 thousand), U.S. Marine Corps (44 awards, $477 thousand), Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical (44 awards, $120 thousand), and Bureau of Reclamation (41 awards, $565 thousand) round out the top tier. Top-customer potential-value rankings shift modestly when accounting for larger individual task orders; Naval Supply Systems Command places second in dollars ($3.3 million across 41 awards) despite lower volume than USGS, signaling occasional high-value procurements alongside the steady stream of smaller requirements.

Hach's parent-vehicle strategy relies on both single-award indefinite-delivery contracts and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule. The company holds a $9 million USGS IDIQ (140G0123D0002, extending through September 2027) that has generated over thirty delivery orders since November 2022, with individual order values from $11,400 to $414,600; a $219,812 single-award Army Installation Management Command indefinite-delivery vehicle (Service Guardian Blue, running through September 2026) supporting Fort Drum and related installations; and a $394,085 Department of Navy Installations Command IDIQ (N4008021D0040, through September 2026) for wastewater-treatment-plant analysis and instrumentation. The GSA Multiple Award Schedule (awarded February 1, 2026, with a $32.4 million ceiling through January 2031) has placed 413 task orders worth $7.3 million combined potential value, serving as Hach's broadest vehicle for rapid procurement across civilian agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of State, and Department of Homeland Security. ING17PC00025 and ING13PC00008 IDIQs have each generated dozens of delivery orders across the USGS and agency partners.

Recent activity remains steady; awards per year averaged 31 over the past five calendar years (2022–2026), with 17 awards logged in 2026 year-to-date. Only 13 awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $815 thousand), indicating limited recompete pressure in the near term. The company competes across two dominant NAICS categories—Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Measuring, Displaying, and Controlling Industrial Process Variables (1,069 awards) and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (459 awards)—reflecting its core product footprint. Primary PSC categories include Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (392 awards), Chemical Analysis Instruments (329 awards), and Combination and Miscellaneous Instruments (312 awards).

Hach's subcontractor footprint is minimal by count (7 sub-awards, 0.3% of portfolio) but strategically placed in defense support. The company supplies Orbisphere equipment and related instrumentation to Fluor Marine Propulsion under the Management and Operation of the Naval Nuclear Laboratory contract, with multiple funding increases totaling over $2 billion in aggregate contract value. Hach also supplies instrumentation to Jacobs Project Management for the San Juan Lateral Water Treatment Plant project and to Black & Veatch Special Projects on a NextGen Nitrogen Removal Demo unit and AI tool development under a federal grant sub-award.

The vendor is headquartered in Loveland, Colorado, with place of performance across most awards occurring at that facility. Combined across 2,558 prime and sub awards, Hach has $123 million in combined potential value and $54 million in obligated dollars (44% utilization rate), reflecting both firm fixed-price delivery orders and labor-hour arrangements across a mature, diversified civilian-agency customer base with secondary defense and environmental-compliance exposure.
