About the company
Thermo Fisher Scientific Chemicals, Inc., doing business as Alfa Aesar, supplies specialized laboratory chemicals, scientific instruments, and optical repair services to the Department of the Navy, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of the Army as a prime contractor on small-dollar purchase orders, with no SBA set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The Tewksbury, Massachusetts–based for-profit manufacturer operates in full-and-open competition across multiple chemical and instrumentation NAICS codes.
Alfa Aesar's federal work centers on narrow, transactional chemical and equipment procurements typical of research and operational support. Recent representative awards include a $25,742 purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center for ethylhexyl acetate (May 2026), a $19,155 order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 for a lead paint analyzer (July 2024), a $16,150 optical repair order from the Department of Homeland Security Secret Service (September 2023), and a $13,782 order from the Naval Air Warfare Center for 2,5-norbornadiene laboratory chemicals in support of naval aviation research (August 2023). Individual award ceilings range from $13,782 to $25,742 — signature orders for high-spec chemical and instrument procurement rather than sustained support contracts.
Customer concentration reflects Navy dominance across both volume and dollars. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for three awards and $40,000 of the $90,000 combined potential value across all seven awards in the portfolio. The remaining four customer agencies — the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Homeland Security Secret Service, the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Department of the Army — each hold one award apiece. The portfolio shows minimal vehicle usage; one task order sits under Indefinite Delivery Contract N6893623D0037.
Alfa Aesar's award footprint is sparse and episodic. Seven total awards span from 2004 through June 2026, with two awards in 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — no growth trajectory. Combined dollars obligated ($844,000) exceed combined potential value by 834 percent, indicating full invoicing and delivery across the small order set. Alfa Aesar subcontracts minimally in the federal space; one sub-award from J.F. Taylor, Inc. appears in the portfolio for norbornadiene chemical supply (July 2025). The vendor's federal engagement appears incidental to its core commercial laboratory-chemical and instrument-repair business — spot purchases from Navy research centers and occasional support to other federal customers rather than sustained contracting relationships or vehicle seat performance.
