Jankel Tactical Systems LLC

Jankel Tactical Systems LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of specialized vehicular components and tactical equipment headquartered in Duncan, South Carolina, operates as a prime contractor on full-and-open federal procurement, holding no SBA set-aside designations. The vendor competes predominantly without socioeconomic preferences across 1,375 total awards spanning recent years, with a combined potential value of $137.9 million and $52.9 million obligated to date.

Jankel's federal footprint centers on two discrete capability areas grounded in manufacturing. First, the vendor manufactures and supplies vehicular seating, seat cushions, seat belt components, and related interior trim for military vehicles—a capability reflected in 232 awards from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime for parts like vehicular seats (NSN 2540015994164, 2540016072817, and related), seat back cushions (NSN 2540016606655, 8510885780), and seat belt kits. A representative example is a $3 million definitive contract from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) for 100 vehicular seats under full-and-open competition, with delivery to San Joaquin, California and completion by November 2026. A second sustained award (August 2024 through August 2025) established a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $250 thousand with DLA Land and Maritime for recurring seat back cushion procurements, estimated at four orders annually with a 57-day delivery window to continental and overseas depots.

Second, Jankel supplies a broad portfolio of tactical equipment, maintenance kits, industrial tools, and miscellaneous supplies to the General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service under its GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract—927 task orders carrying $22.7 million in combined potential value. Representative work includes delivery orders for gantry crane kits ($71,864), hydraulic jacks ($14,250 per order for 20-ton units), spill containment berm kits ($208,266), welding equipment kits, electrical system components, storage cabinets, and consumables such as printer filament and brake cleaner refill kits. The vendor also supplies supplemental armor ($32,700 purchase order, February 2025) and door hinges ($10,894 from Department of State Bureau of Diplomatic Security, January 2024) across a range of federal customers.

Customer concentration is extreme and decision-relevant. The GSA Federal Acquisition Service dominates the award footprint with 1,044 awards representing $94.1 million in combined potential value—approximately 76% of all recent awards by count and 68% by dollars. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime accounts for 288 awards valued at $28.5 million (21% by count, 21% by dollars). The Department of State, Department of the Army, and Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support collectively represent fewer than 20 awards. This concentration in GSA and DLA Land and Maritime creates both revenue stability and competitive vulnerability; a loss of GSA schedule position or DLA vehicle would materially impact pipeline.

Jankel sits on the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (927 task orders) as a prime contractor, enabling direct access to federal agency ordering across civilian agencies. The vendor also holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Land and Maritime: one valued at $350 thousand (awarded April 2026, running through April 2027) for vehicular seats with a guaranteed minimum of three units annually, and the aforementioned $250 thousand seat back cushion contract. These two DLA IDCs represent recurring, predictable ordering vehicles with defined delivery frequencies, contrasting sharply with the transactional, spot-buy character of most GSA schedule task orders.

Activity trajectory shows significant consolidation in recent years. Jankel logged 292 awards in 2022, 659 in 2023, but only 63 in 2024, 15 in 2025, and 12 in 2026 (year-to-date through September). This steep decline from 2023 peak warrants attention; the source does not provide forward pipeline visibility, but the recompete cliff block identifies only $3.1 million in combined potential value across three awards with completion dates within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. However, the sharp drop in award volume and the GSA concentration suggest either saturation of GSA schedule ordering, loss of customers, or a data-collection artifact; the portfolio density in 2023 (659 awards) does not align with typical vehicular component procurement patterns and may reflect transactional recordation rather than substantive volume.

NAICS distribution reflects the dual manufacturing footprint: Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing dominates at 1,053 awards, followed by Motor Vehicle Seating and Interior Trim Manufacturing (232 awards). PSC coding shows Vehicular Furniture And Accessories at 1,177 awards, with Cleaning And Polishing Compounds (106 awards) and Hardware/miscellaneous vehicle components reflecting the GSA supply diversification.

Jankel subcontracts minimally (nine sub-awards, 1% of total). Recent sub work includes armor common cab component kits and HEMTT A4/PLS LTAS B-Kit armor supplied to ManTech Advanced Systems International under ALECS (Army Logistics Civil Engineering Systems) task orders (September 2026), positioning Jankel as a specialized material supplier to a larger defense prime. The sub footprint is negligible relative to prime activity and does not materially influence the vendor's federal profile.

In vendor-teaming context, Jankel appears as a single-source supplier of niche vehicular components and industrial consumables with strong GSA and DLA Land and Maritime relationships but no notable prime teaming arrangements. Competitors seeking to bundle seating or interior trim components with broader vehicle-platform offerings would find Jankel a potential subcontractor; conversely, Jankel's pricing and delivery reliability on routine GSA consumables make it a possible incumbent-defense risk for other vendors holding GSA schedule contracts.
