JRD & Associates, Inc.

JRD & Associates, Inc., a minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Miami, Florida, operates as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) providing student internship program administration, workforce development support, grants analysis, and conference logistical services to civilian federal agencies, predominantly through GSA Schedule vehicles and small-business-set-aside IDIQs.

JRD & Associates is structured as a Subchapter S Corporation and has maintained SAM.gov registration since 2005. The vendor competes across full-and-open and total-small-business-set-aside vehicles; recent awards show no explicit small-business set-asides on individual delivery orders despite the vendor's SDB designation, but the company holds two NOAA IDVs explicitly reserved for small businesses. The vendor's customer concentration is heavily NOAA-centric: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration accounts for 18 awards (74% of covered award count) and $8.02 billion in combined potential value, driven primarily by two large indefinite-delivery vehicles — an $8 billion ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain multiple-award IDIQ (awarded September 2024, set-aside for small business, through September 2029) and a $6.89 million single-award LAPENTA Student Internship Program BPA (awarded March 2023, also small-business-set-aside, through March 2028). However, dollar concentration is inverted by a single outlier: the Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command holds two awards valued at $72.55 billion combined potential value, though obligated dollars across all awards total only $23.9 million (0% of potential value), indicating these are large-ceiling vehicles with minimal current task orders placed.

Capability work across the prime portfolio centers on student internship program administration and STEM workforce development. Representative awards include multiple LAPENTA BPA call orders with NOAA ($1.08 million program-support-services option period January–November 2025; $958 thousand order for Call Order 4 through March 2027; $777 thousand closeout order completed March 2024); a $2.71 million definitive contract with NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service for grants enterprise analysis services (completed March 2025); and two conference logistical and program-support delivery orders with the National Institute on Aging ($60.7 thousand for a March 2025 two-day meeting; $54.5 thousand for the July 2024 NIH Aging and AD/ADRD Omics Data Resources conference). The NOAA relationship extends across multiple service lines — internship administration, strategic planning, technical support, and grants oversight — with successive LAPENTA task orders demonstrating sustained demand for JRD's internship program management expertise.

Activity has remained modest and flat in recent years: two awards in both 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026. Only one award (valued at $958 thousand) reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The top parent vehicles are the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (22 task orders, $19.3 million combined potential value), The Professional Services Schedule (5 task orders, $863 thousand), and SeaPort-e (1 task order, $72.55 billion), with the latter representing the Navy outlier. Top NAICS concentrations are Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (27 awards) and Engineering Services (3 awards), though the coding reflects the breadth of the customer base rather than deep engineering capability.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue across prime contracts totaled $2.1 million over FY2022–FY2024, concentrated in FY2023 ($1.7 million across 3.1 FTEs) with no reportable invoicing in FY2024, suggesting work was transitioned to other delivery vehicles or performance wound down on captured contracts. On federal services contracts captured in SCI, median government-paid rates ran around $180/hr, with senior labor pricing through $666/hr. GSA Schedule labor categories span administrative assistant through Subject Matter Expert II roles ($55–$413/hr), education from high school through master's degree, with no security-cleared positions offered. The vendor performs all work with in-house staff (0% sub-hours share across SCI prime records) and holds only one named subcontract — a CARES Act grants oversight and monitoring sub under Digital Consultants, LLC for NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (August 2021). The narrow sub footprint and flat recent activity suggest JRD operates primarily as a vehicle-holder and direct-award performer rather than as a feeder to larger prime contractors.
