Jess W. Jackson And Associates, Inc.

Jess W. Jackson And Associates, Inc., doing business as Jackson Jess W & Associates Inc., supplies eddy current probes, array probes, calibration standards, and related non-destructive testing instruments to the Department of Defense as a small-business prime contractor, with 99% of its federal work flowing through competitive and small-business-set-aside purchase orders.

Headquartered in Buford, Georgia, Jess W. Jackson And Associates is a for-profit corporation that competes predominantly under total small-business set-asides. The vendor specializes in measurement, testing, and navigation instruments, grounded in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and PSC 6635 (Physical Properties Testing And Inspection). Recent awards span eddy current probes for naval shipyard condenser-tube inspections (a $720,097 NAVSEA purchase order in May 2026), array probes for brush-plating operations (a $184,080 U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces order in August 2025), calibration standards and phase monitors for naval testing programs (multiple awards ranging from $40,960 to $287,160 between 2025 and 2026), and software licenses such as a $1.051 billion Revospect HX Pro license to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard running through 2029. Vendor documentation notes consistent service to NAVSEA and naval shipyards since SAM.gov registration in 2002, with expertise in sourcing Zetec-manufactured probes and compatible inspection systems.

Customer concentration is extreme and anchored by Naval Sea Systems Command. NAVSEA accounts for 114 of 162 awards in the top-customer slice (covering 82% of all awards) and carries $16.2 million of the $21.2 million combined potential value across the portfolio. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation follows distantly with thirteen awards ($1.5 million), and U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces with ten awards ($1.4 million). Tennessee Valley Authority, visible in award count at nineteen orders, carries no disclosed potential value and likely represents smaller dollar transactions. The potential-value ranking aligns with the award-count ranking; NAVSEA dominates both dimensions, signaling that the vendor's scale and customer base are highly concentrated in naval maintenance supply.

The vendor operates almost entirely on small-business-set-aside purchase orders issued through DLA Land and Maritime, DLA Aviation, and NAVSEA directly, with infrequent full-and-open or sole-source (unrestricted) awards. Parent vehicle activity is minimal; the top vehicles on record include an indefinite delivery contract W58RGZ18D0001 (two task orders), DAHA2288C0033 (one task order), and GSA Federal Supply Schedule GS00F7553A (one task order). The bulk of work flows through spot purchase orders rather than standing contract vehicles, which is typical for small commercial-item procurements valued under simplified acquisition thresholds. Activity has grown in the past two years — 22 awards in 2022 to 26 in 2025 — though 2026 shows 17 awards year to date, suggesting continued engagement. The recompete cliff in the next twenty-four months is negligible: only two awards with combined potential value of $95 thousand face completion windows requiring recompete, indicating limited near-term displacement risk for the vendor and limited recompete-opportunity for competitors.

The subcontract footprint is negligible; only one sub-award appears in the source data (a Defense Systems And Solutions prime for RSAF back-shop modernization supplies in October 2021). The vendor operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor sourcing inventory from manufacturers such as Zetec Inc. (proprietary eddy current probes and array inspection systems), ECI (electronic control instrumentation), and software vendors such as Revospect and Velocity.

Jess W. Jackson And Associates occupies a specialized role in naval maintenance supply, funneling sophisticated non-destructive testing equipment to shipyards and fleet maintenance activities. Its customer base is narrow, its set-aside posture is consistent, and its growth trajectory is modest but stable. The vendor's market is characterized by long lead times on Zetec-proprietary items, high technical specificity in solicitations, and sole-source justifications tied to equipment compatibility — factors that create switching costs and sustain margins but also concentrate risk in NAVSEA procurement cycles.
