Huron Applied Sciences, LLC

Huron Applied Sciences, LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Champaign, Illinois, operates as a prime contractor supplying office supplies and maintenance equipment to GSA's Federal Acquisition Service through high-volume, low-value purchase orders issued on a non-set-aside, full-and-open basis. The vendor's entire federal footprint (8,457 awards totaling $1.6 million in combined potential value across 2025–2026) flows through a single customer—GSA FAS—with no subcontract activity.

Huron's capability portfolio consists of generic office supplies, janitorial items, and hand tools. Representative orders from July 2026 include a $1,380 purchase order for neon yellow and neon orange fluorescent high-visibility sashes and belts with silver retro-reflective material; a $1,510 purchase order for aluminum oxide abrasive disks (24 grit, 2.00 inch diameter); a $1,520 purchase order for labels; and a $840 purchase order for Vernier calipers. The vendor also supplies extension cords, staplers, mouse pads, office brushes, clipboard files, markers, protective gear, and laminating machines—all standard items with completion dates clustered in July through August 2026 and September 2026. No parent vehicles, IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs anchor this work; all awards are direct purchase orders placed individually by GSA FAS.

Activity has expanded sharply: 3,325 awards in 2025 to 5,132 in 2026, reflecting aggressive supply ordering rather than capability scaling. The entire combined potential value of $1.6 million is fully obligated. Within the next twenty-four months, 611 awards (combined potential value $128 thousand) reach completion and face recompete, representing meaningful turnover velocity at low dollar magnitude per order. Huron competes on full-and-open basis with no set-aside protection and operates as a limited-line catalog vendor to federal property management and field operations, with no strategic parent contracts, teaming relationships, or specialization beyond commodity fulfillment.
