Jasco Incorporated

Jasco Incorporated, doing business as Jasco Inc., is a foreign-owned manufacturer of analytical laboratory instruments that sells optical spectroscopy and chromatography equipment to federal research agencies as a direct prime contractor on full-and-open purchase orders and GSA Multiple Award Schedule delivery orders. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime (100% of recent awards); it competes without set-aside protections and does not hold 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other SBA certifications.

Jasco Inc. is headquartered in Easton, Maryland, with place of performance typically at that location. Its federal award portfolio centers on analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (NAICS 541380) and professional equipment supply, with the two largest PSC categories being laboratory equipment and supplies (104 awards) and maintenance, repair, and rebuild of instruments and laboratory equipment (58 awards). The vendor's capability portfolio consists of selling and maintaining circular dichroism spectropolarimeters (J-1500 series), FTIR and UV-Vis/NIR microscopes, spectrofluorometers, HPLC systems, and integrating sphere accessories, often bundled with installation, training, and multi-year maintenance agreements. Recent representative prime work includes a $286,581.75 purchase order from NASA's Shared Services Center (awarded July 2, 2026) for FTIR and UV-Vis/NIR microscopes for the ICEE facility at Ames Research Center; a $176,043.94 order from the FDA (August 26, 2026) for a J-1500 CD spectrometer with two years of preventative maintenance through November 2029; and a $95,016.74 GSA MAS delivery order from USDA (August 3, 2026) for a circular dichroism spectropolarimeter with scanning emission monochromator and peripherals.

Customer concentration is moderate and distributed across civilian research agencies. The top five funding agencies—the Food and Drug Administration (27 awards, $991 thousand), Army Materiel Command (20 awards, $808 thousand), Office of Naval Research (17 awards, $547 thousand), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (9 awards, $391 thousand), and USDA Agricultural Research Service (12 awards, $389 thousand)—account for 34% of all awards and 20% of combined potential value. The rankings track closely, indicating stable volume-to-value ratios across the customer base. Jasco Inc. maintains presence on multiple GSA Federal Supply Schedules, with the largest vehicle being Federal Supply Schedule GS24F1264C (61 task orders, $3.4 million combined potential value) and the general Multiple Award Schedule accounting for 12 task orders and $711 thousand. Combined potential value across 254 awards spans from 1982 to August 2026, totaling $15.7 million, with $8.8 million obligated (56% realization rate). Recent activity has declined—four awards in 2026, one in 2025, six in 2024, after three to five annually in 2022–2023. Two awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $302 thousand, representing minimal recompete cliff exposure. Jasco Inc. holds a single sub-award (February 2025) as a materials supplier to Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory on a DARPA research program support task.
