JB Contracting, Inc.

JB Contracting, Inc., a minority-owned, Hispanic-American small business based in Beltsville, Maryland, operates as a prime contractor delivering painting, construction, facilities maintenance, and renovation services to federal civilian agencies under SBA 8(a) certification. The firm competes predominantly under 8(a) set-asides—eight of its ten highest-value contracts carry sole-source or competitive 8(a) designations—and has built a concentrated customer base among three agencies that account for 78% of recent awards by count.

JB Contracting's capability footprint centers on interior and exterior painting (145 awards across NAICS 238320, Painting and Wall Covering Contractors), general commercial and institutional building construction (156 awards, NAICS 236220), and facilities maintenance and repair work. Representative work includes a $2.82 million 8(a) sole-source renovation of the Occupational Medical Services clinic at NIH Building 10 in Bethesda, Maryland (awarded September 2025, completion May 2027); a $2.87 million 8(a) sole-source window cleaning and frame replacement contract at St. Elizabeth's Center Building in Washington, D.C. (awarded September 2024, completion September 2025); a $1.925 million Clinical Center outpatient exam room refresh on NIH's 12th and 13th floors (awarded May 2024, completion December 2026); and a $1.27 million USDA 8(a) sole-source renovation of Buildings 307B and 307C at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (awarded September 2021, completion December 2023). The firm also executes recurring bulk-funding delivery orders for painting, typically $25,000 to $50,000 per order with individual jobs capped at $3,000, from the Department of Energy's Office of Management at the Forrestal and Germantown locations.

Customer concentration is pronounced. The National Institutes of Health Construction account for $32.6 million (41% of combined potential value) across 57 awards, anchoring the portfolio with major renovation and design-build work. The Department of Energy Office of Management ranks second with 106 awards valued at $12.9 million, comprising routine painting and minor facility work. The General Services Administration Public Buildings Service National Capital Region placed 94 awards worth $8.4 million. Together these three customers account for 78% of the award count and $53.9 million of the $79.5 million combined potential value. GSA Region 3 adds $7.6 million across four awards, primarily under a $7.5 million competitive 8(a) repair and alteration IDIQ for facilities throughout Maryland (Contract 47PD0122D0011, awarded September 2022, completion October 2024). A secondary revenue stream flows through the Department of Agriculture's Northeast Area and the Navy's Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.

JB Contracting holds three significant parent indefinite-delivery vehicles. The Department of Energy Office of Management awarded a $2 million single-award 8(a) sole-source IDIQ (Contract 25MA000030, awarded January 2025, completion January 2028) for painting services at Forrestal and Germantown; a prior $4 million single-award 8(a) IDIQ under the same contracting office (Contract 89303022DMA000024, expired January 2025) generated 43 delivery orders worth $1.2 million. The NIH Construction office awarded a $4 million single-award 8(a) sole-source IDIQ (Contract 85024821, awarded September 2021, completion June 2025) for parking garage pressure washing and cleaning services, yielding multiple delivery orders in the $554,993 to $673,647 range. GSA's $7.5 million competitive 8(a) IDIQ (47PD0122D0011) for repair and alteration work has funded fence construction, reception area build-outs, and roof leak repairs at Maryland facilities.

Activity peaked in 2023 with 41 awards, declined to 29 in 2024 and 11 in 2025, and has contracted sharply to 2 awards year-to-date in 2026. Nine awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $7.8 million—most notably a $2.82 million NIH renovation and a $2.87 million GSA window cleaning contract, both approaching or past their 2026–2027 completion windows. The $4 million NIH parking garage pressure washing IDIQ itself expires June 2025, and the prior $4 million DOE painting IDIQ expired January 2025, creating recompete exposure on both vehicles.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue reflects a subset of federal services work above the $150,000 threshold: $9 million across FY2022–FY2024, with $3.3 million in FY2022, $1.8 million in FY2023, and $3.9 million in FY2024. Reported FTE count on SCI contracts grew from 4.1 FTEs in FY2022 to 12.1 FTEs in FY2024, indicating workforce expansion on larger projects. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable work ranged from a 10th percentile of $82.02/hr to a median of $152.90/hr, with senior labor reaching $2,132.98/hr at the 90th percentile. Across prime contracts reported in SCI, subcontractors accounted for an average of 19% of total contractor hours, with 17 named subcontractors supporting the vendor's delivery team.

JB Contracting operates exclusively as a prime contractor; the award portfolio contains no sub-award work. The vendor typically builds internal delivery capacity and supplements with subcontractors for specialized trades (electrical, HVAC, flooring) rather than outsourcing entire contracts. The 8(a) certification, which expires March 3, 2026 per the source documents, has been the dominant competitive posture across the portfolio, with sole-source and competitive 8(a) set-asides accounting for the majority of high-value work. Recent activity suggests the vendor is transitioning or consolidating—the sharp drop from 41 awards in 2023 to 2 in 2026 year-to-date, combined with the expiration of two major IDIQs and pending recompete of several large contracts, points to a critical juncture in the firm's federal footprint. Competitive positioning depends on successful recompetes of the NIH and DOE painting vehicles and the GSA Maryland IDIQ, all of which are set-aside vehicles that align with JB Contracting's SBA status.
