About the company
Solenis LLC, doing business as Ashland Aqualon, supplies specialty chemical resins to the Department of the Army and Department of the Navy as a subcontractor (71% of recent awards), with a narrow product footprint anchored to ammunition propellant-case manufacturing. Solenis is a limited liability company and a subsidiary of Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Inc., a private-equity-backed parent vehicle; the source carries no SBA set-aside designations for Solenis itself.
The vendor's federal activity concentrates almost entirely on Army ammunition programs. Five recent sub awards from the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition direct Solenis to supply Kymene 913A resin in support of the Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) M231/M232-series combustible case assembly program for 155mm propelling charges. Awards span February 2025 through June 2026, with purchase orders acquiring bulk resin quantities — 46,000 pounds ordered in February 2025 for $67,330, 27,600 pounds in April 2025, 46,000 pounds in February 2026, and 46,000 pounds in June 2026 — each split across multiple partial deliveries. The Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command accounts for two awards with a combined potential value of $30,000, representing the only non-ammunition customer in the recent footprint. Solenis competes under Indefinite Delivery Contract W15QKN21D0005 as a parent vehicle, with two task orders placed against it.
The primary NAICS classification is Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing, with secondary classification in miscellaneous chemical product and preparation manufacturing. Total combined potential value is $30,000 across all seven recent awards, though combined obligated dollars stand at $425,000, indicating that purchase orders have substantially exceeded the stated potential-value estimates. Activity shows sporadic engagement — one award each in 2014 and 2015, then a three-year gap before three awards in 2025 and two in 2026, suggesting recent acceleration in MACS program orders. The vendor operates as a pure subcontractor, with no prime awards or parent vehicle seats in the source data.
