About the company
Strem Chemicals Inc., a specialty chemical manufacturer based in Newburyport, Massachusetts, supplies high-purity metal organics, atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) precursors, and electronic-grade chemical compounds to the federal government as a prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders with no set-aside designations. The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since 2001 and operates as a for-profit manufacturer focused on research-and-development-grade chemical precursors.
Strem's federal footprint is heavily concentrated with the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research, which accounts for 28 of the vendor's 32 prime awards (97% of recent awards) and $416 thousand of the $428 thousand combined potential value across all awards. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Center and the Department of the Army together represent 3 awards worth $12 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $63,217 firm fixed-price purchase order from ONR (December 2025) for metal organics supporting advanced materials research through April 2026, a $21,332 purchase order for ALD precursors (October 2024), a $30,032 purchase order for trimethylaluminum, electronic-grade (October 2023), and a $24,839 purchase order for bis(ethylcyclopentadienyl)ruthenium(II) (October 2022). Strem's product portfolio, as reflected in contract awards, spans All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing (23 awards), All Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing (3 awards), and All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (3 awards), with PSC concentration in Chemicals (17 awards) and Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties (4 awards).
Activity has been episodic rather than sustained — five awards in 2021, then one award each in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — reflecting the small-dollar, transactional nature of Navy laboratory procurement for specialty chemical supplies. Strem operates exclusively as a prime contractor on purchase orders; there is no subcontract footprint in the source data. All recent awards are full-and-open competitive procurements with no set-aside applications. The vendor competes on chemical purity, electronic grade specifications, and delivery capability to Navy research facilities rather than on contract vehicles or set-aside positioning.
