Joint Research And Development LLC

Joint Research And Development LLC, doing business as Jrad, is a for-profit limited liability company headquartered in Stafford, Virginia, that has been registered to receive federal awards since November 2004. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sayres and Associates LLC, the company specializes in providing technical, analytical, and programmatic support services to federal defense and civilian agencies, with particular expertise in chemical and biological defense, environmental services, research and development, and testing and evaluation. Jrad has established itself as a significant federal contractor with a robust portfolio of prime and subcontract awards across multiple Department of Defense agencies and related organizations.

Jrad's past prime federal contract awards demonstrate substantial depth across defense and environmental support services. The company has received delivery orders from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) for technical support to the Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center, including services such as air monitoring, quality system management, personal protective equipment management, laundry services, operation and maintenance of chemical and biological containment and destruction systems, risk management, and radiation safety program support. Additional Army awards include contracts from the Army Test and Evaluation Command for Army Evaluation Center Support Services, with recent delivery orders valued at $21.2 million (awarded December 31, 2025), $12.6 million (awarded August 19, 2025), $11.5 million (awarded August 1, 2025), and $9.1 million (awarded April 16, 2025), covering test and evaluation services at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland. The company has also received awards from the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense for professional services and science and engineering support. Other significant contracts include environmental laboratory analysis services, commercial laboratory analysis of soil samples for contaminated building demolition programs, technical support for explosive destruction systems and chemical warfare materiel destruction technologies, acquisition subject matter expertise for portfolio and program management, and facility management and operation services for personal protective equipment and toxicological agent protective clothing facilities. These contracts have been structured under various pricing mechanisms including cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-plus-award-fee, and firm fixed-price arrangements, with multiple awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides reflecting Jrad's small business status. The company has also served as a subcontractor to major prime contractors including Booz Allen Hamilton, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, International Business Machines Corporation, Bryce Space and Technology, Leidos, and Battelle Memorial Institute, providing support services across various federal programs.

Jrad currently holds multiple significant Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and other federal contract vehicles that position it as a versatile provider across the federal government. The company was recently awarded two major OASIS+ contracts by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service on December 17 and 19, 2024: the OASIS+ Unrestricted IDIQ with a $999.9 billion ceiling value and ultimate completion date of December 16, 2029, and the OASIS+ Total Small Business Set-Aside IDIQ with an equivalent $999.9 billion ceiling through December 18, 2029. These contracts enable Jrad to provide professional services across seven functional domains including management and advisory, technical and engineering, research and development, intelligence services, environmental services, facilities, and logistics. The company maintains the $869 million Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Program Support Services (STEPSS) IDIQ with RDECOM, extending through April 2032, which has generated numerous delivery orders for technical support services. Jrad also holds the $249 million Army Evaluation Center Support Services (AECSS) IDIQ with the Army Test and Evaluation Command through April 2028, supporting multiple evaluation directorates. Additionally, the company was awarded a $48 billion Department of Defense Information Analysis Center Multiple Award Contract (partially set aside for small businesses) on October 15, 2024, with performance through March 31, 2028. Jrad maintains a $300 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate for independent test and evaluation services through May 2028, a Federal Supply Schedule contract with the General Services Administration (47QRAA23D006L) with a $4.2 million ceiling through May 2028 covering 59 labor categories for engineering and professional services, and a nominal $5 Blanket Purchase Agreement with RDECOM for the Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center. These varied contract vehicles collectively position Jrad to pursue task orders and delivery orders across civilian and defense agencies, supporting the company's continued growth as a federal contractor.
