Jeol Usa, Inc.

Jeol USA, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer of advanced scientific instrumentation headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, operates as a prime contractor across the federal government, delivering scanning and transmission electron microscopes, nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers, mass spectrometers, and field emission analytical equipment alongside preventive maintenance and repair services. The vendor is a self-certified small disadvantaged business competing predominantly in full-and-open procurements without set-asides; over 99% of recent awards are prime contracts.

Customer concentration spreads across federal research and analytical agencies. The top five funding agencies by potential value account for 34% of combined dollars: the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology (96 awards, $40.5 million), the Department of the Army's Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (112 awards, $11.9 million), the Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey (31 awards, $8.3 million), the Department of Health and Human Services' Food and Drug Administration (45 awards, $6.9 million), and the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (68 awards, $4.4 million). Award counts and dollar rankings largely align, signaling broad-based customer relationships rather than concentration in a single high-value account; NIST leads in dollars despite fewer awards than RDECOM, indicating larger average contract values. Representative prime work includes a $4.38 billion JBX-8100 electron beam lithography system delivery to NIST (September 2023), a $1.93 billion field emission electron microprobe analyzer and accessories delivery to USGS (August 2023), a $2.78 billion e-beam lithography system for the Air Force Research Laboratory (September 2023), a $660.8 million preventative maintenance contract on a government-owned transmission electron microscope for the Army's RDECOM (June 2024), and a $530.3 million MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer delivery to the Army's TACOM (June 2024).

Jeol holds seats on multiple indefinite delivery vehicles. The largest parent vehicle by task order volume is Indefinite Delivery Contract 263010001 with 22 task orders valued at $6 million combined potential value; Federal Supply Schedules GS00F5976A and GS24F0036N carry 19 and 17 task orders respectively, the latter with $865 thousand combined potential value. The vendor also manages a $3 million single-award USDA Forest Service indefinite delivery vehicle for mass spectrometry services globally in support of sustainable forest management, under which it has issued multiple task orders for Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) and time-of-flight mass spectrometer deployments in countries including Namibia, Mexico, Vietnam, and Peru, with order values ranging from $2,990 to $404,814.

Activity has remained stable over the past five years, averaging roughly 40–55 awards per year across 2022–2025, with 2026 showing only nine awards to date (snapshot as of mid-July 2026). Thirty-eight awards (combined potential value $11.6 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure. Prime work centers on equipment procurement and field service delivery, with NAICS concentration in Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance (844 awards) and Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (554 awards). The vendor operates predominately as a prime contractor; sub-award activity is minimal, with only 22 sub-awards (1% of total), including recent subcontract work under primes Leidos Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology Inc., Triad National Security LLC, CACI Technologies LLC, and University of Dayton on defense materials research, threat mitigation engineering, laboratory operations, and sponsored research programs.

Service Contract Inventory captures only a narrow slice of Jeol's federal services footprint—five records across FY2022–FY2024 with $2.3 million in prime invoiced revenue and 0.4 to 0.2 FTEs annually. Government-paid rates on SCI-reportable contracts run from a 10th percentile of $335 per hour to a median of $1,241 per hour and 90th percentile of $1,522 per hour, reflecting a mix of field technician labor and specialized technical support. The subcontractor hours share on prime contracts is zero percent, confirming that Jeol delivers federal services through its own workforce rather than through material subcontractor reliance. SCI figures represent a small and unrepresentative sample; the broader award portfolio shows Jeol competing directly as a manufacturer and original-equipment-manufacturer service provider across civilian research and defense labs rather than as a staffing or managed-services firm.
