Zep Italia S.R.L.

Zep Italia S.R.L., an Italy-based for-profit chemical supplier headquartered in Milan, operates as a prime contractor delivering miscellaneous chemical reagents, water treatment services, and closed-loop maintenance support to the U.S. Navy through full-and-open competitive procurements, with no set-aside participation across its federal footprint. The company competes exclusively on the open market and maintains no SBA certifications or minority-ownership designations.

Zep Italia's capability portfolio centers on chemical reagents and water treatment for naval facilities. Representative work includes a $318,751 firm fixed-price purchase order from Navy Installations Command awarded June 1, 2026, for closed-loop maintenance services on swimming pools and HVAC systems at Naval facilities in Naples, including NSA Capodichino, Carney Park, and NCTS Lago Patria through November 30, 2031; a $43,287 delivery order from Naval Facilities Engineering Command in March 2025 for miscellaneous chemical reagents; a $69,981 delivery order from Navy Installations Command in January 2023 for miscellaneous chemical reagents; and a $53,493 delivery order from Navy Installations Command in October 2022 for water plant maintenance services. Work is performed in Italy to support U.S. naval operations and facility engineering requirements.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of the Navy accounts for all 226 awards (100% of the portfolio) across two principal spending offices: Navy Installations Command (90 awards, $3.9 million combined potential value) and Naval Facilities Engineering Command (130 awards, $2 million combined potential value), with minor activity through Naval Supply Systems Command and Naval Computer and Telecommunications. The split between ordering offices reflects differing mission scope — Installations Command places larger individual orders averaging tens of thousands of dollars, while NAVFAC issues smaller task orders averaging fifteen thousand dollars or less.

Zep Italia places work under three Navy indefinite delivery contracts: IDC N6817108D0006 (97 task orders, $827 thousand combined potential value), IDC N6817114D0004 (87 task orders, $722 thousand combined potential value), and IDC N6817119D0005 (35 task orders, $853 thousand combined potential value). These are single-award IDCs to Zep Italia rather than government-wide vehicles; the vendor's position is exclusive on each contract line.

Activity has declined substantially. The vendor received eight awards in 2022, five in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Combined potential value across all 226 awards is $5.9 million, with $2.6 million obligated (44% of potential value). The vendor has maintained continuous Navy relationships since at least 2000 and is registered in the System for Award Management since 2003. The source does not identify a recompete cliff or completion-date concentration in the next twenty-four months. Zep Italia carries no subcontract role across this portfolio — all 226 awards are prime contracts.
