Jett's Specialty Contracting, LLC

Jett's Specialty Contracting, LLC, a service-disabled veteran-owned small business based in Paducah, Kentucky, delivers HVAC system installation, replacement, and maintenance services to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a prime contractor exclusively, with all 80 recent awards held as prime contracts (zero subcontract engagement). The firm competes under 100% SDVOSB set-asides across its federal footprint and holds the VOSB and SDVOSB certifications.

Jett's capability portfolio centers on mechanical infrastructure for federal healthcare facilities: HVAC equipment replacement (air handling units, chillers, cooling towers), steam and heating system upgrades, water distribution system modifications, and associated plumbing, electrical, and general construction support at VA medical centers. Representative recent work includes a $19.9 million SDVOSB set-aside definitive contract awarded by Veterans Integrated Service Network 15 in March 2026 to remove and replace end-of-life HVAC infrastructure at Building 1 of the John J. Pershing VA Medical Center in Poplar Bluff, Missouri (with ultimate completion August 2028); a $4.8 million SDVOSB set-aside contract from VISN 16 in June 2026 for thermostatic mixing valve installation at two Arkansas VA facilities; and a $3.4 million SDVOSB set-aside chiller replacement project at the Chalmer Wylie VA Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, Ohio, awarded by VISN 10 in September 2025.

Customer concentration is extreme and monolithic. The Department of Veterans Affairs accounts for substantially all award volume and dollars across five regional Veterans Integrated Service Networks. VISN 9 (Tennessee Valley Healthcare System and Kentucky/Tennessee facilities) leads by both metrics: 18 awards carrying $131.4 million in combined potential value. VISN 15 (Missouri and Illinois medical centers) follows with 16 awards and $83.3 million combined potential value. VISN 6 (Virginia, North Carolina, and regional facilities) holds 14 awards worth $35.9 million; VISN 16 (Arkansas facilities) holds 8 awards worth $14.9 million; and VISN 10 (Ohio region) holds 16 awards worth $12.9 million. The top five VISN customers account for 90% of all awards and 95% of combined potential value. Jett's has no meaningful customer diversification outside the VA.

Jett's holds three active federal indefinite delivery vehicles, all with the VA. A $45 million multiple-award IDIQ with VISN 9 (VA MATOC for Construction, Repair and Renovations at Tennessee Valley Healthcare System) was awarded September 2024 with ultimate completion September 2029 under SDVOSB set-aside, providing construction, maintenance, and repair services for VA Medical Centers in Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tennessee. A $40 million multiple-award IDIQ with VISN 9 (Memphis VA Medical Center MATOC) was awarded August 2021, also SDVOSB set-aside, for construction, maintenance, renovation, and repair services at Kentucky and Tennessee VA facilities through August 2026. A $900 thousand single-award BPA with VISN 9 (Blanket Purchase Agreement 36C24922A0037) runs through September 2026 for chiller preventative and emergency maintenance services across Kentucky locations (Lexington and Paducah). Recent BPA calls under this vehicle total $608 thousand across four task orders issued in October 2022, October 2023, October 2024, and October 2025. Additional named parent vehicles include an Indefinite Delivery Contract (36C24919D0060) with 4 task orders worth $2.4 million and VA25517D0141 with 5 task orders worth $2.6 million.

Award activity has remained flat in recent years: 8 awards in 2022, declining to 6 awards each in 2023, 2024, and 2025, with 3 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Ten awards with combined potential value of $22.3 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete exposure across VISN 6, 9, 10, 15, and 16.

The vendor's primary NAICS classification is 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), accounting for 51 of 80 recent awards, with commercial and institutional building construction (25 awards) representing secondary scope. Work is performed across multiple VA medical center locations in Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, and Alabama.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue (federal service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold) totaled $35 million across FY2023–FY2024, with zero reported activity in FY2022. FY2023 showed $10.8 million across 12.3 FTEs; FY2024 reported $24.2 million across 30.3 FTEs, indicating upward trajectory in the SCI-reportable cohort. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from a 10th percentile of $98.92 per hour to a median of $346.40 per hour, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile at $1,163.10 per hour. The vendor performed zero subcontractor hours across SCI-reportable prime contracts, building its own delivery teams entirely.
