About the company
J.B. Hunt Transport Inc., doing business as Hunt J B Transport, operates as a prime contractor providing specialized transportation and logistics services to federal agencies on an unrestricted, competitive basis with no set-aside designations. The company is a for-profit subsidiary of J.b. Hunt Transport Services, Inc., headquartered in Lowell, Arkansas, and competes across general freight trucking (NAICS 484121), road transportation support services, and logistics management — work reflected in primary PSC codes for motor freight transportation and logistics support.
J.B. Hunt's federal customer footprint concentrates heavily on disaster response and law enforcement transportation. The top five customer entities account for 76% of recent awards but 100% of potential value, driven overwhelmingly by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (six awards, $295.6 million combined potential value), which dwarfs all other customers. This concentration masks two distinct business lines: FEMA task orders under the National Cross Dock and Incident Support Base IDIQ (seven task orders, $81 million combined potential value) dominate the dollar value; the Drug Enforcement Administration (twelve awards, $132 thousand combined potential value) drives award count through recurring micro-purchases for controlled-substance and non-traditional biothreat-agent (NTBI) material transportation. Secondary customers include DHS, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Cemetery Administration, and the Army. A $230.5 million single-award IDIQ with FEMA, awarded in July 2020, anchors the vendor's federal presence; under this vehicle, J.B. Hunt has delivered multiple delivery orders totaling over $42 million in support of hurricanes Helene, Debby, and Laura, as well as winter storm response. Recent DEA work exemplifies the transportation base: a $16,284 purchase order (May 2026) for NTBI transport from California to Washington; a $4,243 award (March 2023) for controlled-substance logistics from the Rocky Mountain Division to Covanta Environmental Services in Tulsa, Oklahoma; and recurrent pharmaceutical-destruction transportation under the DEA's National Take Back Pharmaceuticals program.
Activity has grown since 2022 — one award in 2022 to seven in 2024 — then contracted to two awards in 2026 year-to-date. The vendor carries 54 prime awards with no subcontract footprint; all work is performed in-house. Service Contract Inventory data capture only $1.4 million in invoiced federal services revenue (FY2024), reflecting 1.3 FTEs at a median government-paid rate of $497.24 per hour — a partial and conservative view of the vendor's federal services activity, as SCI excludes goods, products, and micro-purchases that dominate J.B. Hunt's DEA work. The combined potential value across all 54 awards stands at $335.3 million, with $57.5 million (17% of ceiling) obligated. The vendor operates under no SBA set-aside designations and competes in the open market, including directly against FedEx on individual task orders (as reflected in a 2024 DEA controlled-substance transport where J.B. Hunt's $9,043 bid undercut FedEx's $18,405).
