Joint POW MIA Accounting Command

The Department of the Navy Joint POW MIA Accounting Command (JPAC) is a defense sub-agency that procures support services, equipment, and specialized resources to locate, identify, and repatriate remains of military personnel unaccounted for in past conflicts. The Command has closed its contract awards pipeline; no new contract awards have been issued since February 2022.

JPAC's lifetime contract portfolio spans 2,201 awards from 2002 through early 2022, with a combined potential value of $126.4 million and $135.5 million obligated. Activity has been negligible in recent years: the Command issued 44 awards in 2017, then dropped to 4 awards in 2018, 1 in 2020, 1 in 2021, and 1 in 2022. Over the last five years (2017–2022 window), only Premier & Companies, Inc. appears as a contractor, holding a single small-dollar award worth $1 thousand; this coverage pattern reflects the near-complete absence of recent procurement activity rather than meaningful competitive concentration. Across the portfolio's lifetime, the Command worked with 357 distinct prime contractors, indicating historically distributed competition over the two decades prior to 2022.

The competitive set-aside mix reflects the Command's legacy procurement posture: 93 percent of all awards carried no set-aside designation, 4 percent were general small-business awards, and 3 percent were 8(a) sole-source. Competitive 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned Small Business, and Partial Small Business each accounted for less than 1 percent of awards.

No recent contract opportunities are currently open against JPAC. The absence of awards since February 2022 and the minimal award cadence across 2018–2022 signals that the Command has substantially wound down its contracting operations or realigned its procurement model. Organizations pursuing new work with JPAC should treat the Command as inactive for near-term business development purposes.
