Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC

Jackson Bond Enterprises, LLC, a small business aerospace manufacturer based in Dover, New Hampshire, operates as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) specializing in design, manufacturing, and testing of advanced thermal protection systems, inflatable aerodynamic decelerator structures, and high-temperature seals for space exploration and defense applications. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides on SBIR Phase II contracts and NASA Langley indefinite-delivery vehicles; a subset of its work, particularly on the unrestricted Langley Track A IAD IDIQ, is awarded full-and-open.

Jackson Bond's customer base is heavily concentrated in civilian space and defense R&D. NASA Langley dominates both dollars and technical scope — 10 awards carrying $237.3 million in combined potential value, anchored by two IDIQs awarded October 1, 2022: a $91.975 million small-business-set-aside IDIQ for flexible thermal protection systems design, manufacturing, and testing (Track B), and a $139.925 million unrestricted IDIQ for inflatable structures design, manufacturing, and testing (Track A). Both contracts run through September 30, 2027, and support NASA's Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerators program for entry, descent, and landing capability development. Recent work under these IDIQs includes a September 25, 2025 delivery order for $1.009 million (unrestricted, Track A) and two September 2025 orders totaling $1.29 million under Track B (one small-business set-aside, one unrestricted). Beyond Langley, NASA Shared Services Center has placed 11 awards totaling $2.4 million for SBIR Phase I and Phase II work on high-temperature inflation hoses, ports, and seal technologies. The Air Force Research Laboratory accounts for 4 awards totaling $3.4 million, including Phase II SBIR contracts for advanced high-temperature seals ($1.25 million awarded September 13, 2023, completion November 2026) and improved seals for hypersonic vehicles ($749 thousand awarded March 14, 2022, completion December 2024). Recent awards span definitive contracts and delivery orders across SBIR and core R&D work, with firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee structures predominating.

Activity has declined year over year — six awards in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, five in 2025, and two in 2026 — with seven awards (combined potential value $5.9 million) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore exposed to recompete. The combined potential value across all 43 awards stands at $243.9 million; only $11.6 million (5%) has been obligated to date, reflecting the nature of indefinite-delivery vehicles and forward-funded research awards. Service Contract Inventory data covering FY2022–FY2024 shows zero invoiced revenue on SCI-reportable service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, consistent with Jackson Bond's business model as a manufacturing and R&D services provider whose revenue streams are captured under goods and research contracts rather than as labor-hour service contracts. Jackson Bond subcontracts minimally — 5% of recent awards are sub positions, and SCI records show zero sub-hours share across prime contracts, indicating the company builds and executes its own delivery teams internally. Named sub work includes hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerator material fabrication and testing under Southern Research Institute on a June 2022 award.
