Maryland Chemical Company, Inc.

Maryland Chemical Company, Inc. (doing business as Maryland Chemical Co Inc.), a woman-owned small business based in Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland, manufactures and supplies industrial and specialty chemicals to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing across both set-aside and full-and-open procurement channels. The company is a child entity of George S Coyne Chemical Co Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business; Maryland Chemical itself is designated as a woman-owned small business and competes under total small business, woman-owned small business, and full-and-open set-asides.

Maryland Chemical's federal capability portfolio centers on caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) solutions, mixed acids, soda ash, and wastewater treatment chemicals supporting currency production, naval shipbuilding and maintenance, and Army installation operations. The company holds a $4.6 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract with the Department of the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing, established September 2022 through August 2023, under which it supplies 50% sodium hydroxide solution for alkaline cleaning in currency production at Curtis Bay and Washington D.C. facilities; recent delivery orders under this IDIQ include a $521,436 order awarded April 1, 2026, a $416,404 order from May 2025, and a $191,520 order from February 2024. Maryland Chemical also holds a $5 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Naval Sea Systems Command established November 15, 2024, running through June 14, 2029, covering sodium hydroxide, soda ash, mixed acids, and nitrogen reduction solutions for shipbuilding and maintenance; notable BPA calls include a $788,735 mixed-acid order from July 2025, a $793,270 mixed-acid call from June 2024 set aside for total small business, and a $705,600 bulk sodium hydroxide call from June 2024 also set aside for total small business. The company supplied wastewater treatment chemicals including nitrogen reduction carbon source solution and coagulation polymers to the Department of the Army Installation Management Command under a $763,436 definitive contract awarded April 2022 for Fort Detrick's wastewater treatment plant operations; in October 2023, the Army exercised Option Year 2 on this same vehicle for $3.058 million in nitrogen reduction solutions.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which accounts for 312 awards (57% of the 546 total awards in the portfolio) and $22.1 million of the combined potential value. Naval Sea Systems Command represents the second-largest customer by dollars, with 44 awards totaling $10.9 million combined potential value. The Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region placed 12 awards valued at $5.1 million. Together these three customers represent 95% of combined potential value across the portfolio. The Army Corps of Engineers placed 123 awards (80 by Baltimore District and 43 by other districts) but at low individual value ($61 thousand aggregate for Baltimore District).

Activity has shown recent growth — the portfolio recorded 7 awards in 2022, 7 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 3 in 2025 — though 2025 volume is still accumulating. Five awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $3 million, representing modest recompete exposure. The top parent vehicles by task-order count are Army Corps of Engineers IDIQs, with TEPD151771 supporting 148 task orders and DACW3103D0015 supporting 43 task orders, though these carry lower individual values; the Bureau of Engraving and Printing IDIQ and NAVSEA BPA dominate dollars despite lower task-order counts.

Maryland Chemical competes exclusively as a prime contractor across its 546 awards; the source reports zero subcontract activity. The NAICS and PSC profile reflects the core business: Other Chemical and Allied Products Merchant Wholesalers (159 awards), All Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing (127 awards), and Alkalies and Chlorine Manufacturing (106 awards) dominate NAICS distribution, with Chemicals (368 awards) and Oils and Greases (143 awards) leading PSC coding. The company has maintained federal contracting relationships spanning decades, with awards dating to 1981, and obligated dollars represent 46% of combined potential value across the active contract portfolio.
