John Kardos

John Kardos, operating as JAK Enterprises, is a San Diego-based small business sole proprietorship registered in the System for Award Management since February 2010. The company specializes in supplying industrial materials and components to the federal government, with a particular focus on serving the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). JAK Enterprises has established itself as a reliable supplier of precision industrial goods critical to Navy ship construction and maintenance operations, maintaining consistent contract performance across multiple procurement cycles.

JAK Enterprises has received seven prime federal contract awards, all from the Naval Sea Systems Command, with a combined ceiling value exceeding $78,000. The company's contract portfolio demonstrates expertise across a diverse range of specialized industrial supplies, including epoxy adhesives (such as EP21T), epoxy color coats, lubricating greases (including aircraft and Krytox torque variants), self-locking fasteners, rubber weight flooring, and turbine lift adapters. The majority of these contracts—six of seven awards—were designated as total small business set-asides, reflecting the company's classification as a small business concern. Contract awards have been issued as firm fixed-price purchase orders with ceiling values ranging from $3,500 to $22,000, with performance periods typically spanning between one and seven months. The most recent award in August 2025 for epoxy color coat reflects JAK Enterprises' continued engagement with NAVSEA for specialized material supplies supporting naval defense infrastructure. The company maintains no documented relationships with prime contractors, indicating all awards have been direct procurements from NAVSEA rather than subcontract arrangements.
