Janel Inc.

Janel Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Bound Brook, New Jersey, supplies soldering consumables, medical monitoring accessories, and specialized welding equipment to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards), competing predominantly full-and-open without set-aside designation on most purchase orders.

Janel operates as an authorized distributor of production assembly supplies centered on soldering materials, equipment, and electrostatic discharge products for military logistics and depot maintenance operations. The company's concrete capability footprint spans soldering flux, electric soldering irons and tips, solder alloys, desoldering tools, heat sinks, electrode welding holders, and electromedical wrist straps for electrocardiogram and electrodermal activity monitoring. Recent representative work includes a $82,950.79 purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment in December 2025 for 1,027 units of heat sink soldering equipment, a $13,131.07 order for desoldering tools in August 2024, and a $77,120 medical supply order for solvent dispensers from DLA Troop Support Medical in September 2023.

Customer concentration sits heavily with DLA divisions. The top five funding agencies account for 34% of recent awards by count, led by DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (134 awards, $231 thousand combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (40 awards, $588 thousand combined potential value). When ranked by potential value, the picture shifts: DLA Land and Maritime anchors 71% of combined potential across the top five customers at $588 thousand, driven by a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $250 thousand that ran from May 2022 to May 2023, against which DLA issued eight delivery orders for electro-wrist straps. DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for $231 thousand across 134 awards, reflecting high transaction volume at low per-order magnitude. The company also serves the U.S. Marine Corps, the Department of the Navy Pacific Fleet Forces, the Department of the Army Materiel Command, and the Veterans Health Administration, but these remain secondary to DLA concentration.

Janel's vehicle position centers on the Federal Supply Schedule V797P4230A, which carries 201 task orders and $57 thousand in combined potential value. The company also holds or places work under several indefinite delivery contracts: IDC SPE7M522D60XA (6 task orders, $312 combined value), IDC SPE7M521D61JX (3 task orders, $465 combined value), and single-award vehicles with DLA including contract DLA12087C4778. The supply schedule represents the primary vehicle for Janel's federal sales channel.

Activity has grown from 28 awards in 2022 to a peak of 61 in 2024, but volume dropped sharply to 15 awards in 2025 and 6 in the first quarter of 2026, suggesting either seasonal fluctuation or a potential erosion in DLA order patterns. Janel operates as a pure prime — no subcontract work appears in the source data — and competes full-and-open against all competitors on nearly all orders, with only three awards carrying "Total Small Business" set-aside language. The company registered in SAM in October 2001 and has maintained continuous federal sales for over two decades, concentrated in DLA's supply-chain operations rather than prime contracts.

NAICS concentration reflects product specialization: Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing (203 awards), Welding and Soldering Equipment Manufacturing (109 awards), and Hand and Edge Tool Manufacturing (33 awards) dominate the portfolio. PSC concentration mirrors this, with Medical and Surgical Instruments accounting for 385 awards and Miscellaneous Welding, Soldering, and Brazing Supplies covering 144 awards. Janel functions as an equipment and consumables distributor in the small-purchase order space rather than a systems integrator or large-contract prime.
