Federal Small Business
Chemical Supplier

Most federal small business chemical procurement requires multiple supplier verifications. Alliance Chemical consolidates them:

• DLA Approved Supplier — CAGE Code 1LT50, active SAM.gov registration
• HWOSB Certified — Historically Underutilized Woman-Owned Small Business (U.S. SBA)
• EDWOSB Certified — Economically Disadvantaged WOSB (U.S. SBA)
• WOSB Certified — Women-Owned Small Business (U.S. SBA)
• DoD Bronze Medal Supplier — U.S. Department of Defense recognition for supplier performance
• DUNS: 012941063 · UEI: DCTCZDY3BLD3 · DOT: #2188383 · 49 CFR 172.704 hazmat-certified
• BBB A+ Accredited · Founded 1998 · Taylor, Texas HQ

• CAGE Code (DLA) — required for any federal PO or DoD invoice. Without it, payment can't be processed through federal systems.
• HWOSB / EDWOSB / WOSB — qualifies for women-owned set-aside contracts, sole-source up to $4.5M (services) / $7M (manufacturing), prime-contractor subcontracting credit.
• DoD Bronze Medal — independent recognition of supplier performance. Different signal than ISO (which is process). This is customer-conferred for delivered results.
• DOT hazmat-certified — required for any U.S. chemical supplier shipping regulated substances across state lines.

Federal set-aside contracts reserve procurement for specific small-business categories. For chemical procurement, the relevant set-asides include:

• WOSB set-aside — competition limited to WOSB / EDWOSB suppliers (Alliance qualifies)
• HWOSB set-aside — when historical underutilization is a procurement priority (Alliance qualifies)
• Sole-source WOSB — single-supplier contracts up to $4.5M / $7M (Alliance eligible)
• Subcontracting plans — primes must meet small-business utilization targets (Alliance helps primes meet WOSB targets)

Federal buyers verify Alliance's set-aside eligibility via SBA's Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS).
