Jacobs / B&M A Joint Venture

Jacobs / B&M A Joint Venture, a single-award prime contractor to the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, delivers architect-engineering and program management services for Department of Defense military construction projects across the Indo-Pacific region. The joint venture is a partnership between Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Dallas, Texas) and Burns & McDonnell, established in 2009, and operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) under full-and-open competition with no small business set-aside posture.

The joint venture's customer concentration is extreme: 71 of 77 awards (92% of awards covering $659.7 million of $671.6 million combined potential value) flow from Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The remaining four awards come from U.S. Pacific Fleet Forces (four awards, $6.3 million), Navy Installations Command (one award, $5.6 million), and Navy Naval Supply Systems Command Engineering Logistics Office (one award, $115 thousand). This concentration reflects Jacobs / B&M's role as a dedicated NAVFAC Pacific A-E prime rather than a diversified federal contractor.

Jacobs / B&M holds two parent IDIQs: the primary vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract N6274220D0002, a single-award A-E services IDIQ that recently expanded to a $249 million ceiling (awarded January 29, 2026, completion January 28, 2027), which carries 45 task orders worth $134.1 million in combined potential value. A predecessor IDIQ, N6274210D0007, generates 27 task orders at $43.1 million combined potential value. Representative delivery orders under these vehicles include a $5.38 million design-development order (0-35% phase) for the FY28 Joint Intelligence Operations Center at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (awarded April 21, 2025), a $9.7 million design-bid-build architecture and engineering order for the FY27 Pacific Warfighting Center Expansion at Ford Island (awarded March 27, 2025), a $9.8 million order for design plans and specifications for the FY26 Aircraft Parking Apron Phase 1 at Wake Island Airfield (awarded July 16, 2024), and a $8.19 million order for DD1391 forms and 35% design submittals across four projects at Yap International Airport, Federated States of Micronesia (awarded April 27, 2023). Recent awards also include smaller delivery orders: a $348,641 planning and pre-design charrette for FY27 Coast Guard Campus Recapitalization at Coast Guard Sector Guam (February 20, 2026), a $1.64 million order for engineering and field investigations supporting Air Traffic Control Tower and Base Operations at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam (December 4, 2025), and a $1.21 million third-party quality assurance review order for three 85% architect-engineer design submittals for the P-454 Multi-Mission Dry Dock at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (June 27, 2025).

Work spans the entire Indo-Pacific: place of performance across the vast majority of awards includes Hawaii, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Australia, Diego Garcia, and Japan, with administrative headquarters at Arlington, Virginia. The joint venture regularly engages small business subcontractors — notably Myounghee Noh & Associates LLC (woman-owned small business, environmental consulting), Controlpoint Surveying Inc. (minority-owned small business, surveying and mapping), 360 Cost Consulting LLC (woman-owned small business, engineering services), J. UNO & Associates, Inc. (minority-owned small business, cost estimating), GEO Engineering & Testing Inc. (SBA-certified HUBZone small business, geotechnical engineering), and Alliance Consulting Group, Inc. (service-disabled veteran-owned small business, engineering services) — to supplement core capabilities across environmental, geotechnical, surveying, and cost-engineering disciplines.

Activity has grown from six awards in 2022 to thirteen in 2023, contracting to eight in 2024, then rising to twelve in 2025, with three awards in 2026 year-to-date. Within the next twenty-four months, 26 awards carrying combined potential value of $85.4 million will reach ultimate completion and face recompete. The new $249 million IDIQ awarded January 29, 2026, represents a substantial ceiling expansion from the predecessor vehicle and signals NAVFAC's continued reliance on Jacobs / B&M for Indo-Pacific A-E capacity, though the January 28, 2027 completion date on the current vehicle creates near-term recompete pressure.
