Jet-Care International Inc.

Jet-Care International Inc., a woman-owned small business based in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey, delivers engine trend monitoring, debris analysis, and aircraft fluid diagnostic services to federal agencies as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides and full-and-open vehicles. The company operates a pure-prime footprint with no subcontract exposure and has held continuous federal contracts since at least 2005.

Jet-Care's capability portfolio centers on aviation maintenance diagnostics and condition monitoring for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. The company provides internet-based engine condition trend monitoring (ECTM) services that enable proactive detection of engine performance degradation before operational impact, debris analysis cards and kits for helicopter fleet maintenance, aircraft hydraulic and oil analysis diagnostic materials, and turbine trend analysis support. Representative work includes a $111.9 thousand sole-source purchase order from the U.S. Coast Guard awarded November 2024 for debris analysis services supporting MH-65 helicopter operations with an option for up to 300 additional units; a $39.7 thousand total small business purchase order from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded February 2025 for internet-based ECTM services covering four de Havilland Twin Otters and three Beechcraft King Air 350ER aircraft through January 2030; and a $106.2 thousand single-award indefinite delivery contract from the U.S. Forest Service awarded February 2023 providing engine trend monitoring for Sherpa, Twin Otter, and King Air aircraft through January 2028, against which six delivery orders totaling approximately $50.1 thousand have been issued.

Customer concentration is extreme. The U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 54 of 81 total awards (67% of the award count) and $1.8 million of the $4.1 million combined potential value (44% of dollars), with work split between two large indefinite delivery contracts: HSCG3807D202030 carrying 14 task orders valued at $2 million combined and HSCG3812D202054 carrying 26 task orders valued at $498 thousand combined. The remaining four customer agencies—the Forest Service's National Interagency Fire Center (7 awards, $156 thousand), the U.S. Marshals Service JPATS (3 awards, $141 thousand), NOAA (3 awards, $101 thousand), and the Federal Aviation Administration (1 award, $20 thousand)—together account for 33% of awards but only 9% of potential value. Two of Jet-Care's three customer agencies are in the Department of Homeland Security, reflecting the vendor's specialization in Coast Guard and federal aviation maintenance support.

Activity has decelerated materially in recent years—six awards in 2023, five in 2024, two in 2025, and one in the first four months of 2026—suggesting either a slowdown in actual demand or a shift in the Coast Guard's acquisition strategy. Only one award ($32 thousand) has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure. Jet-Care's work spans two dominant NAICS categories: Testing Laboratories and Services (40 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (38 awards), reflecting the dual nature of the company's service delivery—in-house diagnostic analysis alongside procurement of consumable diagnostic materials and kits. The vendor's top PSC codes reflect this split: Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (53 awards) and maintenance/repair/rebuild support (16 awards combined).
