Haskris Co

Haskris Co, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation manufacturer of water chillers, refrigerated water recirculation systems, and specialized laboratory cooling equipment headquartered in Elmhurst, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) delivering tangible goods to federal research and defense agencies. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though it has received total small business set-asides from the Office of Naval Research and NASA; small business designations do not characterize its posture across the footprint.

Haskris Co's customer concentration clusters heavily around Navy research and civilian research infrastructure. The top five funding agencies by count cover 36% of recent awards, led by the Office of Naval Research (24 awards, $292 thousand combined potential value), followed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (8 awards, $74 thousand), the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (5 awards, $51 thousand), the Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development (4 awards, $37 thousand), and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (4 awards, $43 thousand). By potential value, the Naval Air Warfare Center ranks second (2 awards, $232 thousand), reflecting higher-value military equipment procurements such as a $187 thousand OPC8 water chiller and spare parts supporting Foreign Military Sales programs for the Malaysian and Australian F/A-18 fleets. Recent representative prime work includes a $46 thousand total small business set-aside delivery of heat exchange chillers to the Office of Naval Research (August 2025), a $17 thousand total small business set-aside water chiller with virtual training for NIST's X-ray diffractometer facility (September 2025), a $12 thousand non-refrigerated water recirculating system for NHLBI's 600 MHz cryoprobe NMR facility (July 2025), and a $13 thousand air-cooled water chiller for the National Cancer Institute (April 2024).

Activity has remained steady at two to seven awards per year over the past five years, with five awards issued in 2025. The combined potential value across all 124 awards totals $1.5 million, with $1.8 million obligated, indicating that invoiced value slightly exceeds estimated contract ceilings. The company maintains minimal subcontract exposure — two sub-awards on record, including a materials-focused sub task under KBR Wyle Services on Air Force Research Laboratory sensing device trade studies (April 2024) and an engineering services sub under the University of Dayton on aerospace composite performance prediction (November 2022). Haskris Co's award portfolio concentrates in NAICS 333415 (Air-Conditioning and Warm Air Heating Equipment and Commercial and Industrial Refrigeration Equipment Manufacturing), representing 92 of 124 awards, with secondary exposure in analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing and power boiler and heat exchanger manufacturing. PSC coding aligns with Laboratory Equipment and Supplies (46 awards) and refrigeration equipment and components categories (34 awards combined). SAM.gov registration has been active since March 2002, and the company has worked with 48 distinct federal agencies across civilian research infrastructure, military research and development, and specialized laboratory environments.
