Water Chemistry Inc.

Water Chemistry Inc., a Virginia-based small business specializing in HVAC chemical water treatment and facility maintenance services, operates as a prime contractor (99% of recent awards) under a Total Small Business set-aside on its core indefinite delivery contract with Naval Facilities Engineering Command, while competing predominantly in full-and-open awards through delivery orders at Navy installations throughout Virginia.

The company's federal footprint centers narrowly on Navy facility operations. The Department of the Navy accounts for 94% of combined potential value across all awards, split between Naval Facilities Engineering Command (six awards, $3.4 million combined potential value) and Navy Installations Command (29 awards, $2.4 million combined potential value). The portfolio is anchored by a $1.45 million single-award IDC with Naval Facilities Engineering Command running through September 30, 2029, set aside for small businesses, which covers HVAC and boiler system maintenance, repair, and modernization across a 50-mile radius of Naval Station Norfolk, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story, and Naval Weapons Station Yorktown. Water Chemistry Inc. has drawn 25 task orders totaling $2.1 million in combined potential value from this vehicle alone, including a $157,519.68 delivery order (April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2027) for regional HVAC water treatment services at Naval Station Norfolk under Option Year 2 funding, a $27,132 order (July 25, 2025) for chemical treatment equipment replacement at Norfolk, and a $23,605.12 order for regional HVAC chemical treatment at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story covering April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026. Secondary work includes 11 task orders ($660 thousand combined value) under Indefinite Delivery Contract N4008524D0026 and eight orders on GSA Federal Acquisition Service, primarily Defense Logistics Agency Aviation awards for chemical supplies ($106 thousand across 22 awards). A single outlier $54,000 purchase order with Headquarters Air Force (May 3, 2024, through May 2, 2029) covers EVAPCO Pulse-Pure water treatment service and maintenance at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, and a $7,698.30 order with the National Park Service (January 11, 2024) covered HVAC maintenance at the NPS National Office in Roanoke. The vendor has registered in the federal system since 2002 and holds primary NAICS categories in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (38 awards) and chemical product manufacturing (35 awards), with PSC coding split between bulk chemicals (48 awards) and equipment maintenance and repair (26 awards combined). Activity has remained modest and relatively flat—four to seven awards per year over the past five years—with only one award recorded in 2026 to date. A single delivery order valued at $158 thousand faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating limited recompete exposure in the near term.
