Jacon Aircraft Supply Co., Inc.

Jacon Aircraft Supply Co., Inc., doing business as Jacon Fasteners & Electronics, is a small for-profit manufacturer based in Chatsworth, California that supplies mechanical fasteners, electronic components, and aircraft hardware to the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice as both a prime contractor (49% of recent awards) and a subcontractor (51%), competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations.

The vendor's capability footprint centers on fastener manufacturing (bolts, nuts, screws, rivets, washers), hardware components (doors, panels, support structures), bearings, connectors, and metal valve and pipe fittings for military aircraft platforms and prison facility operations. Prime work with the Department of Defense Defense Logistics Agency Aviation includes a $9,240 firm fixed-price purchase order awarded December 9, 2025 for plain plate nuts supporting aviation operations, completion scheduled February 3, 2026; a $258 order in January 2022 for O-rings; and a panel-blank order in June 2022. The vendor maintains a consistent track record supplying the Defense Logistics Agency since at least 2004. Prison-related prime awards span approximately twenty orders to the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, primarily for fastening devices and hardware components. The subcontractor footprint is dominated by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, under which Jacon performs fastener, hardware, bearing, connector, and electronic-component manufacturing across multiple production and spares programs including the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft (multiple multiyear production lots, FRP lots 7-11+, spares for France and Japan, aerial refueling retrofit kits), MQ-4C Triton long-lead items supporting the U.S. Navy and Australia, the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) engineering and production effort, and Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Polar Satellites space vehicles, with recent Northrop sub awards continuing through April 2026.

Customer concentration by award count skews naval: the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command accounts for 21 awards, the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons for 20 awards, and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command for 10 awards, together spanning 79% of recent awards. Potential-value concentration is low across the portfolio — the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's seven awards carry only $12 thousand in combined potential value — reflecting Jacon's position as a high-volume, low-per-order supplier of commoditized parts. The vendor places work under five named parent vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract 4600000889 (nine task orders, $47 thousand combined potential value), two Navy basic ordering agreements for aircraft systems maintenance and supply (N0038320GWM01 with six task orders; N0001920G0005 with four task orders), and two additional BOAs for procurement support (SPRPA121GCT01 with four task orders; 1PIC45940 with six task orders).

Activity has grown sharply in the past three years — one award in 2022 to fourteen in 2024 and twelve in 2025, with thirteen sub awards through April 2026 — driven almost entirely by recent Northrop Grumman subcontract flow on large military aircraft and space programs. The combined potential value across the seventy-five total awards is $60 thousand, but obligated dollars stand at $3 million, indicating significant invoiced activity against relatively small ceiling values, characteristic of standing-order relationships with defense logistics and acquisition commands. The vendor competes across full-and-open procurements, with no 8(a), HUBZone, or other SBA set-aside designations in the record, positioning it as a traditional small business supplier rather than a certified small disadvantaged or women-owned enterprise.
