Jemco Components & Fabrication, Inc.

Jemco Components & Fabrication, Inc., a for-profit limited liability company based in Kirkland, Washington, manufactures precision aerospace and defense components as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and subcontractor, supplying build-to-print structural assemblies, fluid manifolds, aircraft fittings, panels, seals, and other specialized hardware to the Department of Defense and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The company is a small business competing predominantly in full-and-open and Total Small Business set-aside delivery orders under established indefinite-delivery vehicle contracts.

Jemco's customer concentration is extreme. Defense Logistics Agency Aviation accounts for 160 of 172 total awards (93% by count, $9.5 million of $18.6 million combined potential value) with the remainder split among the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (5 awards, $9.1 million), the Department of the Air Force (3 awards), and NASA Johnson Space Center and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (3 awards combined). The concentration reflects Jemco's role as a specialized supplier in DLA Aviation's aircraft parts supply chain, where it occupies the dominant vehicle position: a $4.1 million multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract (DLA Aviation IDV SPE4A222D0017) running through June 2032 has generated 157 task orders valued at $5.3 million. Jemco also holds a $4.8 million single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Air Force Sustainment Center for C-5 drag strut components running through September 2027, which has generated 5 awards worth $9.1 million combined. Work is performed at Jemco's primary facility in Kirkland, Washington, with subordinate performance in Santa Fe Springs, California; Nevada, Missouri; Huntsville, Alabama; and other locations as required by individual task orders.

Jemco's capability portfolio centers on precision manufacturing of aircraft structural components, manifolds, fittings, seals, panels, and assemblies supporting military aviation sustainment. Representative prime contracts include a $2.87 million Total Small Business delivery order from DLA Aviation (February 2024) for structural aircraft panels performed in Nevada, Missouri; a $1.1 million delivery order (September 2023 through September 2026) from Air Force Sustainment Center for C-5 drag strut first-article, data, and production units; and a $124 thousand Total Small Business fluid manifold delivery order from DLA Aviation (June 2022) with completion through February 2026. Recent activity reflects sustained DLA Aviation demand: a $46.5 thousand manifold order awarded December 2025, a $108.5 thousand manifold order awarded November 2025, and smaller orders for aircraft flooring, blanket assemblies, door seals, and latch components throughout late 2025 and early 2026. NAICS concentration reinforces this profile: 161 of 172 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing; the remainder scatter across small arms ordnance, aircraft manufacturing, and research and development.

Activity trajectory shows sharp decline from 56 awards in 2022 and 63 in 2023 to 27 in 2024, 20 in 2025, and 4 in 2026 year-to-date (as of mid-July 2026). Eighteen awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $1.6 million, representing recompete exposure on both the DLA Aviation IDV (which runs through June 2032 and is the company's dominant vehicle) and the Air Force Sustainment Center contract (completion September 2027). The declining award volume and modest combined potential value signal a vendor facing a tightening pipeline, despite a substantial long-term IDIQ position.

Jemco's subcontractor footprint spans aerospace primes. Recent sub-awards include fabricated metallic components to Sierra Space Corp (January, October 2025), a metallic grommet to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (March 2025), KC-46 engineering and manufacturing development support to The Boeing Company (April 2024), and RS-25 engine production restart work to Aerojet Rocketdyne of DE, Inc. (February 2026). The sub-award volume is minor (9 awards, 5% of total), with most subs flowing through larger defense industrial base primes rather than representing core strategy.
