C&J Resolutions LLC

C&J Resolutions LLC, a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) based in Albert Lea, Minnesota, supplies maritime equipment components, safety gear, office furniture, and specialized industrial materials to the U.S. Navy as a prime contractor on purchase orders, with 100 percent of its federal work awarded under small business or WOSB set-asides.

The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor across 282 awards spanning 2019 to April 2026, with no subcontract footprint. Customer concentration is extreme: the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) accounts for 229 awards (81 percent of the portfolio) and $2.8 million in combined potential value, while U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces holds 52 awards (18 percent) and $402 thousand. A single Defense Logistics Agency award rounds out the three-agency customer base. The portfolio combines relatively modest individual order values—median purchase orders range from roughly $2,000 to $50,000—with high transaction frequency, characteristic of a general maritime supplies vendor serving Navy shipyards and fleet operations.

Product scope spans safety consumables (disposable coveralls, hard hats, hearing protection, gloves), maritime-specific components (stave damping assemblies, gearboxes, pumps, relief valves, O-rings), office furniture and fixtures (desks, chairs, workbenches, file cabinets, lockers), industrial materials (rope, tape, rubber and PTFE sheets, laminated cloth, welding electrodes), and specialized fabrication (tank fabrication, RPFW mockup heat exchanger, hazmat building). Representative awards include a $141,631.92 RPFW mockup heat exchanger (July 2024), a $226,800 hazmat building (December 2021), a $141,632 RPFW mockup delivery (July 2024), and a $640,000 O-ring order (August 2023) — all total small business set-asides. The $141,632 contract for propeller gland rings and electrical molded inserts shows the vendor's reach into specialized maritime fabrication.

Activity has contracted sharply: 77 awards in 2022 declined to 39 in 2024 and 23 in 2025, with only 7 awards so far in 2026. Combined potential value across the entire portfolio is $3.2 million, with obligated dollars at $3.3 million (101 percent), indicating near-complete execution. A recompete cliff of $246 thousand faces completion within the next twenty-four months. Top NAICS categories include Apparel Accessories and Other Apparel Manufacturing (16 awards), Office Furniture Manufacturing (15 awards), and Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing (11 awards), reflecting the breadth of commodity and fabricated-goods procurement. Top PSC codes are Office Furniture (25 awards), Clothing and Special Purpose Apparel (16 awards), and Hose, Pipe, Tube, and Fitting supplies (12 awards).

The vendor's set-aside posture is entirely within total small business and WOSB categories—no full-and-open or unrestricted awards appear in the recent footprint. C&J Resolutions competes on simplified acquisition procedures and lowest-price, technically acceptable evaluation criteria, typical for Navy supply-chain procurement under $250,000 thresholds. The declining award trajectory, modest order sizes, and high concentration on consumables and commodity maritime supplies position the firm as a supplier-of-record for repetitive, lower-complexity Navy facility and fleet support rather than as a prime on larger Navy modernization or shipbuilding integration programs.
