Jones Automotive, Inc.

Jones Automotive Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Omaha, Nebraska, provides specialized vehicle upfitting and customization services to federal law enforcement and military agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under small-business set-asides. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity competing entirely in the Total Small Business reserve, with all 48 recent federal awards issued as purchase orders rather than IDIQs or standing BPAs.

Jones Automotive's customer concentration is highly narrow and regionally anchored. The Department of Justice U.S. Marshals Service Nebraska field office accounts for 30 awards (62% of the total award count) and $114 thousand of the combined potential value, dominating the portfolio by a wide margin. The Department of the Air Force's Air Combat Command and Air National Guard together represent 5 awards totaling $57 thousand in potential value; the Department of the Army Nebraska Army National Guard, the U.S. Marshals Service Witness Security Division, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Washington Office Acquisitions round out the active customer set. The top five funding entities cover 81% of recent award count and 90% of combined potential value, reflecting acute dependency on the Nebraska Marshals Service field office.

Work performed centers on vehicle upfitting, maintenance, and specialized component sourcing. Representative awards include a $25,371.72 purchase order from the Air National Guard (May 2026) to upfit a 2025 Ford F-450 into a fire department command vehicle with emergency lighting, siren systems, custom console, radio integration, and NFPA-compliant graphics; a $10,178.44 purchase order from U.S. Marshals for a special agent covert upfit of a Nissan Pathfinder (April 2025); and a $14,989.21 prisoner van outfitting for the Marshals Service District of Nebraska (May 2022). The NAICS footprint clusters in general automotive repair (12 awards), all-other automotive repair and maintenance (11 awards), and motor vehicle supplies and new parts wholesaling (8 awards), with PSC concentration in passenger motor vehicles (21 awards) and motor vehicle maintenance equipment (7 awards).

Jones Automotive places all work under four Marshals Service BPAs: DJM15D47S0011 (10 task orders, $15 thousand), DJM17D47S0016 (6 task orders, $26 thousand), DJM14D47C0017 (5 task orders, $14 thousand), and DJM16D47S0017 (3 task orders). Recent activity is episodic — one award in 2022, 2025, and 2026, with sparse intervening years — though the combined potential value of $215 thousand reflects extremely low contract values relative to federal procurement scale. The company operates zero subcontracting relationships and has not held an IDV prime award.
