Seneca Mineral Company

Seneca Mineral Company, a woman-owned small business headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania, supplies specialized deicing and anti-icing chemicals to the Department of Defense and federal agencies as a prime contractor across a portfolio dominated by total small business set-asides. The company holds SBA Women-Owned Small Business certification and operates as a sole proprietorship.

Seneca Mineral's capability footprint centers on runway deicers, street deicers, and road salt formulations, delivered in both liquid and solid form. Representative work includes a $2.69 million single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Force Air Combat Command through May 2026 for street deicer supply (Ice Slicer), potassium acetate (Alpine RF-11), and sodium acetate products; a $508,536 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region running through December 2026 for solid and liquid deicer reprocurement; and a $250,000 single-award BPA with Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (performance through September 2030) covering the same deicer portfolio. Recent delivery orders exemplify the work: a $165,312 Army call for solid and liquid deicer reprocurement (December 2025), a $199,985 Pacific Air Forces order for 76 bags of sodium formate deicer under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (September 2025), and a $160,048 Pacific Air Forces delivery for 62 bags of sodium formate under the Air Combat Command BPA (January 2026).

Customer concentration is sharply skewed to Army installation maintenance. The top five funding agencies represent 79% of awards by count; the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region alone anchors 72 awards worth $25.8 million in combined potential value — roughly 61% of Seneca Mineral's total portfolio dollar magnitude of $42.6 million. The Air National Guard (30 awards, $919 thousand) and Air Combat Command (24 awards, $4.9 million) follow at distance. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service, though only three awards, carries $7.6 million in potential value, reflecting Seneca Mineral's seat on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule; this vehicles-versus-count divergence signals that GSA-scheduled task orders carry substantially larger unit values than the predominant small Army BPA calls.

Seneca Mineral holds three primary indefinite delivery vehicles. The $2.69 million Air Combat Command BPA (awarded December 2021, running through May 2026) issued nine task orders averaging $308 thousand in value. The Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region operates two BPAs — one (W911S221A5004) generating 24 task orders worth $904 thousand combined, and a second (W911S221A5007) yielding 15 task orders worth $1.8 million. A newly awarded $508,536 Indefinite Delivery Contract with Army IMCOM Northeast Region (December 2025) and the $250,000 Defense Finance and Accounting Service BPA (September 2025) represent recent vehicle positions. Against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, Seneca Mineral has executed 50 task orders totaling $2.8 million, predominantly for full-and-open (non-set-aside) delivery orders to Air Force and Pacific Air Forces for sodium formate and liquid deicer supply.

Activity has remained volatile but productive across the past five years — 14 awards in 2022, 22 in 2023, 13 in 2024, and 20 in 2025, with nine awards recorded in 2026 year-to-date. Only three awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $252 thousand), indicating minimal near-term recompete pressure. Seneca Mineral competes predominantly under total small business set-asides; across the 204 prime awards in the portfolio, 100% are prime contracts issued by federal agencies, with no subcontract footprint evident in the source.

The vendor's NAICS posture sits in All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing (176 of 204 awards), with PSC codes clustered in Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties (119 awards) and Chemicals (54 awards). Seneca Mineral's geographic footprint extends nationwide — performance locations span northeastern installations (Fort Drum, New York; Watertown, New York), Pacific bases (Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska; Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii), and interior commands (Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska; Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington). Primary operations and material sourcing remain centered at the Erie, Pennsylvania headquarters.
