Jab General Contractor LLC

Jab General Contractor LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Marion, Indiana, delivers facility maintenance, emergency infrastructure repair, and building construction services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor exclusively, with all 53 recent awards concentrated at VA Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 at the Marion VA Medical Center.

The company is structured as a limited liability partnership and holds SBA certifications as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), with certifications valid through March 23, 2029. Jab competes across both set-aside and full-and-open categories — roughly 30% of recent awards carry SDVOSB or VOSB set-aside designations, while the remainder compete without set-asides, reflecting the Marion VA's comfort with the vendor's capability and responsiveness.

Customer concentration is extreme and immobile. VISN 10 at Marion accounts for 52 of 53 awards (98% of volume and 98% of combined potential value, $18.4 million), with a single $139 thousand award to the Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration. This monolithic customer dependency creates both reliability and vulnerability: Jab has established a multi-year operational relationship at a single campus with predictable maintenance demand, but lacks geographic or customer diversification and carries no parent contract vehicles (GWACs, BPAs, or agency-wide IDIQs) that would enable task-order expansion beyond Marion or cross-agency scale.

The capability portfolio centers on water-main and sanitary-sewer repair, steam distribution and boiler systems, building structural work (exterior wall repointing, settling-floor correction), fire protection systems (sprinkler and fire-hydrant work), loading-dock replacement, grease-interceptor installation, and emergency facility stabilization. Representative work includes a $2 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded April 1, 2026, for reconfiguration of buildings 51, 52, and 53 at Marion (completion September 28, 2026); an $958,378 emergency grease-interceptor replacement at Building 174 (August 3, 2023, completion May 29, 2026); an $854,658 water-tower-valve repair with period-of-performance extension (July 9, 2024, completion April 30, 2026); a $693,682 loading-dock repair at Building 174 (September 25, 2023, completion May 30, 2025); and a $1.35 million exterior-wall repair contract (September 13, 2022, completion August 1, 2023). NAICS concentration skews toward Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (18 awards), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (15 awards), and Water and Sewer Line Construction (7 awards), with PSC distribution anchored on hospital and infirmary maintenance (30 awards) and equipment repair (5 awards).

Activity has remained relatively stable year over year — seven awards in 2022, declining to four in 2025 before rebounding to six in 2026 — with only one award ($2 million, the April 2026 buildings 51–53 reconfiguration) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The recompete exposure is therefore light in the near term, but the vendor's entire pipeline depends on Marion VA's continued funding priorities and relationship continuation.

SCI-reported invoicing of $5.4 million across FY2023–FY2024 ($4.8 million in FY2023 across 1.3 FTEs, $624 thousand in FY2024 across 0.9 FTEs) captures only service contracts above the $150,000 threshold and excludes the bulk of Jab's firm fixed-price definitive contracts and purchase orders to Marion. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts show extreme variance: median around $1,361 per hour, with senior labor pricing through $2,286 per hour and entry-level labor at $113 per hour, suggesting mixed labor models (some fixed-price work billed at high blended rates, some lower-cost support labor). Jab performs zero subcontracting across SCI records — all delivery is in-house, a pattern consistent with its role as a facility-specific, boots-on-ground maintenance contractor with direct control over site operations and emergency response.
