Premier Trading Company, LLC

Premier Trading Company, LLC, doing business as Premier World Chemicals, LLC, supplies specialty chemicals to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides and unrestricted (full-and-open) purchase orders, with all 65 recent awards held in the prime position and no subcontract footprint. The company is a minority-owned, Hispanic American-owned limited liability company headquartered in Stallings, North Carolina, with operations in Matthews, North Carolina. Its award portfolio centers on chemicals and allied products merchant wholesaling (NAICS 424690) and chemical manufacturing, with PSC 6510 (Chemicals) accounting for 47 of 65 recent awards.

Premier World Chemicals' capability portfolio is highly specialized: the company distributes and supplies chemicals critical to munitions manufacturing, ordnance production, and defense research and test activities. Named products include black iron oxide, di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DOA), sodium bicarbonate, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), Huberbrite and Cimbar compounds, glyceride (castor wax), and related specialty chemicals. Representative recent awards include a $391,680 firm fixed-price purchase order from Army Joint Munitions Command (May 2024) for DOA used in ordnance production at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant; a $156,864 purchase order from the same command (December 2025) for unspecified chemical delivery to Matthews, North Carolina; and a $58,016 purchase order from Army Test and Evaluation Command (July 2025) for Huberbrite 7 and Cimbar 325 specialty chemicals. The company holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with Army Joint Munitions Command valued at $483,275 for black iron oxide through September 26, 2026, from which a $244,385 delivery order was drawn down in September 2021.

Customer concentration is highly concentrated in Army munitions and test commands. The top five funding agencies account for 86% of awards by count and 94% of combined potential value. Army Joint Munitions Command leads on dollar value with 14 awards totaling $1.8 million in combined potential value, while Army Test and Evaluation Command leads on award count with 22 awards totaling $594 thousand. Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region, Army Research Development and Engineering Command, Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Treasury Bureau of Engraving and Printing round out the active customer set. The company has served eleven distinct customer agencies since 2008.

Activity has been episodic — one award in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in early 2026 — with combined potential value of $3 million across 65 awards and $2.5 million already obligated. Approximately $728 thousand in awards (roughly 24% of combined potential value) reach ultimate completion by the end of 2026, creating recompete exposure on the black iron oxide indefinite delivery contract and multiple small-dollar purchase orders across Army test and munitions commands. The company competes primarily under total small business set-aside designations, though recent larger awards (DOA contracts valued at $391,680 and $206,856) were awarded on full-and-open, unrestricted bases.

We supply all types of chemical products for many applications, including formulated products like metalworking fluids and lubricants, and cleaners.
