Jeskell Systems LLC

Jeskell Systems LLC, a small business IT solutions provider and IBM Premier Business Partner headquartered in Laurel, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor on federal IT commodity and software licensing deals, delivering IBM storage systems, enterprise security software, data management solutions, and IT infrastructure hardware to civilian federal agencies under the Chief Information Officer Commodities and Solutions (CIO-CS) government-wide acquisition contract and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule.

The vendor competes predominantly full-and-open (no set-aside designation across most prime awards), though a subset of recent awards carry Total Small Business set-aside designations. Jeskell is structured as a for-profit limited liability company and operates across 79 distinct federal customer agencies. Recent representative prime work includes a $4.164 million IBM QRadar software renewal delivery order with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office under CIO-CS (December 2023), a $3.246 million Forrester IT research subscription contract with HHS Departmental Offices under CIO-CS (January 2023), a $1.154 million Dell PowerEdge servers delivery order with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences under CIO-CS (September 2021), and multiple IBM Spectrum Scale and IBM GPFS license renewals with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ranging from $90 thousand to $616 thousand across 2023–2026.

Customer concentration sits with civilian IT buyers. The top five agencies by award count account for 35% of recent awards, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (36 awards, $12.7 million combined potential value), the Justice Management Division (27 awards, $2 million), the Food and Drug Administration (20 awards, $873 thousand), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (17 awards, $2.2 million), and the FBI Headquarters Division (16 awards, $8.5 million). However, the dollar rankings diverge sharply: GSA Federal Acquisition Service anchors $10.89 billion combined potential value across only 4 awards, reflecting Jeskell's seat on the Federal Supply Schedule GS35F4902H GWAC, where 113 task orders carry $175.8 million combined potential value. The CIO-CS vehicle supports 55 task orders worth $26.7 million, and the GSA Multiple Award Schedule holds 26 task orders worth $7.8 million.

Activity has remained flat to modest — 15 awards in 2022, 15 in 2023, 17 in 2024, and 12 in 2025, with only one award recorded in 2026. The recompete window presents limited near-term exposure: five awards (combined potential value $5.3 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Jeskell operates as a prime on 92% of its award footprint (305 of 331 awards), with subcontract work representing only 8% (26 awards). Recent sub-tier engagements include second-level engineering services on offshore data processing system hardware and software maintenance for IBM as prime (October 2025), Veeam data platform support under Lockheed Martin (November 2024), and various hardware and software components under Raytheon, General Dynamics Information Technology, and Northrop Grumman across defense and intelligence applications.

SCI-reported invoiced activity on federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $1.7 million total across FY2022–FY2024 (FY2022: $696 thousand, FY2023: $335 thousand, FY2024: $676 thousand), reflecting roughly 1.6–2.6 FTEs delivered to the federal government in those years. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates run around $162/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $195/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, Jeskell employed no named subcontractors (zero average sub-hours share), indicating that the company primarily builds its own delivery teams for reportable service work, though the SCI footprint represents a small slice of the vendor's broader commodity and licensing business.
