JRD & Associates, Inc.

JRD & Associates, Inc., a Miami-based minority-owned, self-certified small disadvantaged business operating as a Subchapter S corporation, delivers STEM workforce development, internship program administration, conference logistics, and federal grants analysis services primarily as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards) under GSA Schedule and small-business set-aside vehicles. The vendor's federal footprint is heavily concentrated at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where JRD holds a primary $8 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract under the ProTech 2.0 Fisheries Domain (awarded September 2024, total small business set-aside, performance through September 2029) and a $6.89 million single-award LAPENTA Student Internship Program BPA (awarded March 2023 under GSA Schedule, total small business set-aside, extending through March 2028). These two vehicles anchor the relationship and define JRD's core capability portfolio.

Across recent awards, NOAA accounts for 19 awards representing $8.02 billion combined potential value and dominating the top-customers ranking by award count. However, the second-largest customer by potential value is the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command, which holds just two awards but carries $72.55 billion combined potential value — a massive spike from a single SeaPort-e vehicle order. This concentration split signals that while JRD's volume and ongoing relationship sit with NOAA's civilian workforce development mission, a single large Navy procurement (likely a standing-order vehicle rather than active task-order flow) inflates the total-value figures. The Department of Housing and Urban Development, the National Institute on Aging, and GSA Federal Acquisition Service round out the active customer set. Top NAICS coding clusters around Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services (28 awards) and Education/Training (5 awards), consistent with internship administration and STEM workforce support.

JRD places work through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (23 task orders, $20.4 million combined potential value) and holds positions on The Professional Services Schedule (5 task orders, $863 thousand combined potential value) and an HHS Indefinite Delivery Contract (HSHQDC08C00177). Named representative work includes a $1.29 million delivery order from NOAA (August 2026) for American Fisheries Advisory Committee meeting logistics, participant travel coordination, and program management under GSA Schedule; a $958 thousand BPA call from NOAA (March 2026) under the LAPENTA Student Internship Program for internship program support; a $991 thousand LAPENTA internship call from NOAA (January 2025) under total small business set-aside; a $2.71 million definitive contract from NOAA (April 2022) for National Marine Fisheries Service grants enterprise analysis services; and two National Institute on Aging conference-support delivery orders (January and May 2024, $60 thousand and $54 thousand respectively) for logistics and program support on GSA Schedule, full and open competition.

Activity has been modest and episodic — two awards in 2022, two in 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and two in 2026 — with only one award (valued at $958 thousand) facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Across SCI-reportable federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, JRD reported $2.1 million in prime invoiced revenue from FY2022 through FY2025, concentrated in FY2023 ($1.7 million across 3.1 FTEs). SCI-reported government-paid hourly rates on prime contracts range from a 10th percentile of $168.69 per hour to a median of $180.07 per hour and a 90th percentile of $666.81 per hour, reflecting a mix of analyst, consultant, and expert-level labor. GSA Schedule labor portfolio spans eight active categories from Administrative Assistant at $55.27 per hour through Subject Matter Expert II at $413.36 per hour, with bachelor's and master's degree requirements across roles and no security-clearance offerings. The vendor does not report sub-engagement on its prime SCI contracts, indicating it builds delivery teams internally rather than routing work to subcontractors.
