JDG Associates LTD

JDG Associates LTD, a for-profit executive search and recruitment firm based in Rockville, Maryland, operates as a federal prime contractor delivering specialized talent acquisition and executive search services across 46 federal agencies on a total small business posture. The company competes predominantly under full-and-open and total small business set-aside vehicles, with no subcontract footprint; all 179 recent awards are prime contracts.

JDG Associates delivers executive-level recruitment, candidate screening, assessment, and selection support for Senior Executive Service positions, C-suite roles, directors, and other critical leadership placements across civilian federal agencies. Recent representative work includes a $99,000 delivery order from the Office of the Inspector General under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule for executive recruitment supporting the Office of Audit Services (September 2026), a $232,550 delivery order from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for C-suite executive recruitment services (January 2024), a $177,500 delivery order from the Defense Health Agency for Senior Executive Service search (August 2025), a $67,500 delivery order from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for Chief Financial Officer recruitment (February 2026), and $122,000 and $115,000 BPA calls from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for SES recruitment support. The company maintains three significant indefinite delivery vehicles: a single-award BPA with NOAA ceiling of $881,500 (through April 2025), a total small business set-aside single-award BPA with the Internal Revenue Service ceiling of $3.68 million (through March 2025, administratively closed), and a single-award BPA with an unnamed Human Capital Office team ceiling of $860,000 (through November 2029).

Customer concentration skews sharply to NOAA and the Treasury Department. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dominates by both volume and dollars, representing 44 awards (25% of the portfolio) with $10.4 million combined potential value. The Internal Revenue Service accounts for 6 awards valued at $10 million combined potential value, anchored by the large BPA vehicle. These two customers represent approximately 49% of the combined potential value across the entire portfolio. The Government Accountability Office (Acquisition Management and Human Capital Office combined) represents 15 awards and $2.6 million. The top five customers by potential value account for 67% of combined potential value, indicating significant concentration risk around NOAA's BPA completion (April 2025) and the IRS BPA (which completed in March 2025).

Nearly all work flows through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, which carries 140 task orders valued at $33 million (79% of combined potential value). A secondary vehicle, the Human Resources & Equal Employment Opportunity Services schedule, carries 31 task orders for $4.4 million. Three additional agency-specific IDVs (NOAA, GAO, and USDA) collectively account for 29 task orders and $1.8 million.

Activity has declined sharply: 12 awards in 2022, 11 in 2023, 8 in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 in 2026 year-to-date. The portfolio shows minimal recompete exposure — only $167,000 in combined potential value completes in the next twenty-four months — but this masks the fact that two of JDG Associates' three largest IDV vehicles (the IRS BPA and NOAA BPA) have already completed or are in final closeout, creating significant revenue cliff risk in late 2024 and early 2025. The only active large vehicle is the recently awarded Human Capital Office BPA (November 2024 award, $860,000 ceiling through November 2029), which represents a recapitalization attempt but remains unproven in task order volume. Combined dollars obligated across the portfolio total $12.2 million against $41.7 million combined potential value (29% realization rate), suggesting a pattern of modest task order uptake against larger vehicle ceilings and a significant gap between available contract authority and actual invoiced work.
