Neodora LLC

Neodora LLC, doing business as Espe Machine Works, manufactures precision-engineered arc heater components and segments for the Air Force as a prime contractor on a full-and-open competitive basis, with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The company is a minority-owned, woman-owned small business headquartered in San Jose, California, with self-certified small disadvantaged business status and Subcontinent Asian American ownership. All work is performed in-house at its San Jose facility with no identified subcontractors.

Neodora's customer base is concentrated entirely within the Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command accounts for ten awards worth $18.5 million in combined potential value, while the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center holds seventeen awards worth $9.7 million. These two entities represent 100% of Neodora's recent award activity. The company also holds a single delivery order with the broader Department of the Air Force ($2.1 million), one order with DOD Washington Headquarters Service ($1 million), and one with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (amount not specified). Neodora competes successfully in full-and-open competitions; none of its awards carry set-aside designations, indicating selection based on manufacturing expertise and technical capability rather than small-business preference.

Neodora's work sits on two primary indefinite delivery contracts. The company holds a single-award IDC with the Air Force Test Center (FA910121D0001), valued at $11.3 million through November 2025 and originally awarded in November 2020, which anchors fifteen task orders worth $10.8 million in combined potential value. A second IDC (FA910115D0023) carries eleven task orders worth $5.4 million. Representative delivery orders include a $2.071 million order awarded November 27, 2024, a $1.692 million order for arc heater segments awarded January 20, 2023, a $1.615 million order awarded August 16, 2023, and a $1.049 million order awarded August 31, 2023. Most recently, Neodora received a direct Other Transaction Agreement from Air Force Materiel Command in June 2026 for arc heater component manufacturing and supply with a $926,250 ceiling and performance through June 2036, awarded outside the FAR on technical merit to the minority-owned and woman-owned manufacturer. The company also received a $623,850 delivery order in September 2025 and a $429,500 order in March 2025.

Activity has remained flat at two to three awards per year over the past five years, with thirty total awards generating $31.3 million in combined potential value ($16.7 million obligated to date). NAICS concentration sits in Machine Shops (28 awards) under primary PSC codes for Hardware, Commercial (17 awards) and Milling Machines (10 awards). Neodora operates entirely as a prime contractor with no sub-award footprint, making it a specialized supplier rather than a systems integrator for Air Force experimental test infrastructure.
