About Vantage Specialties, Inc.
Vantage Specialties, Inc., Surface Treatment Technologies Division, a for-profit manufacturer of specialty chemicals headquartered in Gurnee, Illinois, supplies solvent-detergent cleaning compounds, paint strippers, immersion paint removers, and aircraft wash concentrates to the Department of Defense and GSA as a prime contractor (78% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense firms. The vendor competes across full-and-open and total small business set-aside awards without a broader SBA designation profile; recent prime work has split between set-aside and unrestricted competitive vehicles.
Vantage Specialties' customer concentration is Defense-heavy and base-operations-focused. The top five funding organizations account for 89% of recent awards by count, with the Air Force Materiel Command Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex leading in both volume (three awards) and potential value ($1 million combined), followed by the Air Force Materiel Command ($146 thousand across two awards), Army Communications Electronics Command ($70 thousand), and the Defense Logistics Agency at both Aviation and Distribution. GSA Federal Acquisition Service accounts for seven awards but carries only $7 thousand in combined potential value, reflecting frequent low-dollar purchase orders for turbine engine gas path cleaning compounds. The two rankings diverge notably — Air Force Oklahoma City anchors the dollar value while GSA dominates the order count — a signal of volume small-orders versus occasional larger buys.
Vantage Specialties' recent prime capability work includes a $70.2 thousand firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by Army Communications Electronics Command on December 23, 2025 for IPR 9323 Immersion Paint Remover (completion January 26, 2026), a $152.8 thousand total small business purchase order from Air Force Oklahoma City Air Logistics Complex on November 2, 2022 for BIOACT 280 Wax Remover Compound, and a series of sub-thousand-dollar GSA purchase orders for turbine engine gas path cleaning compounds meeting MIL-PRF-85704C specification through 2021 and 2022. The vendor operates under two named parent IDCs (SP330022D5001 and SPE4AX16D9008) with two task orders each. In its subcontractor role, Vantage Specialties supplies paint stripper compounds and chemical removers to Amentum Services on hazardous materials management and 3PL work at DLA Cherry Point, North Carolina, and chemical removers to ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics under prime Defense contracts. Activity has remained modest but consistent — four awards in 2021, four in 2022, one in 2024, and four in 2025 — generating $1.3 million in combined potential value across the eighteen-award footprint, with obligated dollars ($1.5 million) exceeding potential value, indicating prior completion and repeat buys. The vendor holds a subsidiary, H.i.g. Chemicals, Inc., whose products and role in the federal footprint are not described in the source.
