Solmetex LLC

Solmetex LLC, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation based in Northborough, Massachusetts, manufactures and supplies water purification and sterilization equipment to the federal government as a prime contractor competing in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations. The company operates as a 100% prime contractor with no subcontract footprint.

Solmetex's federal work centers on medical water treatment systems and components. The company supplies multi-stage filtration cartridges, residual disinfectors ranging from 1,000L to 10,000L capacity, replacement ultraviolet bulbs, water storage tanks, and chemical treatment tablets (branded CITRISIL) designed for military medical treatment facilities. Representative recent delivery orders from the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical division include a $2,749.67 order for a Stage 5 10,000-liter residual disinfector (April 2026), a $5,413.00 order for 48 maintenance tablets of Citrisil Blue (March 2026), and a $4,456.44 order for Stage 5 7,000-liter cartridges (December 2025). The company also supplies related components such as stage-specific cartridges for reverse osmosis membranes, deionization filters, booster pumps, and pre-filter kits.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Medical division represents 4,006 of 4,098 total awards (97.8% by count) and $17.1 million of the $19.7 million combined potential value (86.8% by dollars). Five other agencies—the Department of the Army Medical Command (11 awards, $547 thousand), the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (11 awards, $78 thousand), the Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service (9 awards, $102 thousand), the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration (4 awards, $43 thousand), and the Army Corps of Engineers (2 awards, $739 thousand)—account for the remaining 3% by award count and 13% by dollars. Solmetex works with 21 distinct customer agencies but derives its footprint almost entirely from DLA orders.

Solmetex holds two primary contract vehicles. The single-award indefinite delivery contract SPE2DH21D0066, valued at $8.4 million and awarded by DLA Troop Support Medical on July 26, 2021, with ultimate completion July 25, 2026, has generated 2,068 task orders worth $1.8 million combined potential value. The DLA Medical Capital Equipment Program has produced 1,936 task orders worth $2.6 million. A secondary vehicle, Dental Equipment and Supplies, carries 33 task orders worth $1.3 million. A GSA Federal Supply Schedule (V797P3942K) holds 24 task orders worth $48 thousand.

Activity shows sharp decline. Solmetex received 488 awards in 2022, 507 in 2023, 417 in 2024, and 364 in 2025; the current year (2026) carries 135 awards as of April 15, 2026, tracking to roughly 405 orders annualized if the pace holds. The underlying IDV (SPE2DH21D0066) reaches ultimate completion July 25, 2026, placing the bulk of remaining contract life within the next three months. Recompete exposure is substantial: the source does not provide explicit recompete-cliff data, but the July 2026 completion of the primary vehicle suggests significant delivery-order volume will cease absent a recompete award or renewal.

The company does not appear in the source as a subcontractor. Solmetex operates solely as a prime supplier to DLA and other medical agencies, with no teaming or sub relationships documented in the federal award history.

Solmetex's NAICS profile is 4,009 awards under Medical, Dental, and Hospital Equipment and Supplies Merchant Wholesalers (the dominant classification), with 72 awards under Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing and single awards under Water Supply and Irrigation Systems and Custom Compounding. PSC concentration reflects medical supply posture: 1,924 awards in Hospital Furniture, Equipment, Utensils, and Supplies; 1,810 in Laboratory Equipment and Supplies; 299 in Medical and Surgical Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies; and 49 in Dental Instruments, Equipment, and Supplies.
