About the company
J 3 Contracting, LLC, a HUBZone-certified, veteran-owned small business based in Carbondale, Illinois, operates as a subcontractor (80% of recent awards) and occasional prime contractor, delivering ammunition manufacturing support and facility construction services to the Department of the Army. The firm holds concurrent SBA certifications as a Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business and HUBZone firm (both expiring October 29, 2028) and is self-certified as a small disadvantaged business.
J 3 Contracting's customer footprint centers on defense ammunition procurement. Four of five awards fund the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center's Program Executive Officer for Ammunition, all placed as subcontracts under General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems. This concentration dominates the award history: J 3 Contracting delivered manufacturing non-recurring engineering and equipment facilitization work on the 25-millimeter M919 armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot cartridge beginning in June 2024, with related scope continuing through July 2025 under an indefinite delivery contract (W519TC24D0009), on which J 3 Contracting holds four task orders. The single prime award — a $13,750 firm fixed price purchase order from the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 4 on August 31, 2026 — covers valve replacement work concluding December 31, 2026, performed in Marion, Illinois.
Activity remains limited. The vendor received one award in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026; combined potential value across all five awards stands at $14,000, although obligated dollars total $7.9 million (reflecting heavy GD ammunition subcontract performance). One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The vendor's Marion, Illinois location aligns with General Dynamics' ordnance manufacturing footprint, positioning J 3 Contracting as a local production and facilities partner rather than a prime systems integrator or broad-based contractor.
