J.d.richardson Inc.

J.d.richardson Inc., a small business based in Rockford, Illinois, delivers explosives training and exercise support specialist instruction to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives as a prime contractor under total small business set-asides. All eight recent awards (combined potential value $558 thousand) are BPA calls or a single purchase order issued by ATF between April and September 2026, placing J.d.richardson as a niche training vendor with zero sub-award activity and no multi-agency footprint.

The vendor operates under NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training) and PSC R499 (education and training, other), delivering law enforcement and industry operations instructor services centered on explosives safety, handling, and investigative procedures. Representative work includes a $15 thousand BPA call awarded August 19, 2026, a $10 thousand call from September 8, 2026, and a $9 thousand call from July 15, 2026 — all firm fixed price, all total small business set-aside, all performed in Rockford, Illinois with brief performance windows (typically completion within two to four weeks of award). The source notes one call advertised a full daily rate of $600 per day for training delivery.

Customer concentration is absolute: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives accounts for 100% of the vendor's recent award portfolio across both award count and potential value. J.d.richardson holds a position on ATF's Blanket Purchase Agreement 15A00026AAQA00125 (awarded May 6, 2026, ceiling $500 thousand, through May 5, 2031), which is a multiple-award vehicle under total small business set-aside. Six of the eight recent awards are calls against this BPA; the remaining two include one standalone purchase order (April 23, 2026, $8 thousand) and one BPA ordering-period entry (May 10, 2026, $8 thousand). The BPA terms permit domestic and international travel assignments of 15 to 30 days' duration and include a not-to-exceed cap of $15 thousand per individual call. The BPA requires background investigation passage and compliance with ATF safety directives and Standard Operating Procedures. To date, J.d.richardson has obligated only $51 thousand of its $558 thousand combined potential value (9%), indicating limited execution velocity relative to available ceiling.
