Jones Communications, LLC

Jones Communications, LLC (doing business as Jones Communications LLC), operating as the Emergency Vehicle Systems Division, is a small-business prime contractor based in St. George, Utah that specializes in vehicle upfitting and outfitting services—installation and de-installation of specialized law enforcement, emergency response, and wildland fire management equipment on federal patrol vehicles—exclusively for Department of the Interior and Department of Agriculture civilian agencies across the western United States.

The vendor is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation competing under total small business set-asides on the majority of awards. Recent work includes a $13,946 firm fixed-price purchase order from the National Park Service Intermountain Region (awarded March 2026) to outfit a 2025 Ford F150 patrol vehicle for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area with SoundOff NForce lightbar, LED lighting, spotlight, push bumper, prisoner transport cage, siren controller, and decals with one-year labor warranty; a $63,713 BPA call from the BLM Nevada Region (September 2025) for vehicle de-installation and outfitting; a $65,006 single-award BPA with the BLM Nevada Region running through May 2029 for recurring vehicle outfitting on full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and off-highway vehicles; and a $41,202 purchase order from the NPS Intermountain Region (July 2023) to upfit four vehicles with equipment and decals. Equipment installed across the portfolio includes lightbars, LED lighting, sirens, radio and computer systems, radar units, prisoner transport cages, window armor, gun racks, reflective decals, and off-road components. Work is performed in or near federal parks and public lands across Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and adjacent regions, with a geographic preference for vendors within 150 miles of specified zip codes.

Customer concentration is heavy and regional. The top five customer entities account for 79% of award count, led by the National Park Service Intermountain Region (17 awards, $358 thousand combined potential value) and the BLM Nevada Region (12 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value). However, the BLM Nevada Region and the Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region anchor most of the dollars—together they represent $2.3 million of the vendor's $3 million combined potential value across 58 awards. The vendor holds a $999,999 single-award BPA with the BLM Nevada Region for vehicle outfitting services (effective May 2024 through May 2029) and operates under smaller BPAs with the BLM and Forest Service. Five task orders have been placed against a BLM BPA valued at $235 thousand combined potential value.

Activity shows growth from one award in 2022 to ten in 2024, with eight awards placed in 2025 and one year-to-date in 2026. Only one award (combined potential value $14 thousand) completes within the next twenty-four months, suggesting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor—58 of 58 awards are prime—with no subcontract footprint in the source data. NAICS coding reflects the automotive repair and vehicle equipment installation focus: Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair (9 awards), Specialized Automotive Repair (8 awards), and Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing (7 awards). PSC codes track installation and modification of vehicular equipment components (16 awards) and modification of vehicular equipment components (13 awards).
