Jones Communications, LLC

Jones Communications, LLC's Emergency Vehicle Systems Division, operating as a small business prime contractor, installs and de-installs specialized law enforcement and emergency response equipment on federal patrol vehicles—lightbars, LED lighting, sirens, radio and computer systems, prisoner transport cages, and decals—exclusively under small business set-asides across a concentrated customer base in the western United States. The company is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in St. George, Utah, competing 100% as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Recent awards through August 2026 total $3.1 million in combined potential value across 60 awards, with 37% obligated to date.

Jones Communications operates primarily under two customer concentrations. The Department of the Interior dominates both award volume and dollar value—the Bureau of Land Management Nevada Region accounts for 13 awards and $1.4 million in combined potential value, while the National Park Service Intermountain Region holds 17 awards ($358 thousand) and the BLM Utah and Arizona regions combine for 14 additional awards. The Forest Service R4-Intermountain Region contributes four awards valued at $1 million combined. These five entities represent 80% of award count and 96% of combined potential value, with the Nevada BLM and Forest Service anchoring most of the dollars. Representative recent work includes a $117 thousand BPA call with the Nevada BLM through May 2029 for 2026 law enforcement vehicle outfitting, a $63.7 thousand BPA call from the Nevada BLM for vehicle de-installation and outfitting through March 2026, a $41.2 thousand purchase order from the NPS Intermountain Region for upfitting four marked and unmarked Ford vehicles, and a $30.9 thousand purchase order for Zion National Park vehicle equipment installation.

The vendor holds a single-award BPA with the BLM Nevada Region valued at $999,999 (ceiling through May 2029) under NAICS 811114 (Specialized Automotive Repair), requiring the contractor to be located within 150 miles of zip code 89130 or include vehicle pickup and delivery in pricing. Additional parent vehicles include a BPA with the Forest Service (BPA INL09PA00464, three task orders, $16 thousand combined) and a Forest Service BPA (BPA 12026120A0003, one task order, $14 thousand). Award activity increased year over year from one award in 2022 to ten in 2024, then declined to eight in 2025 and three through August 2026—a recent slowdown that may reflect seasonal solicitation patterns or pipeline tightening. Work is performed across multiple western locations, with place of performance concentrated in Las Vegas, Nevada; St. George, Utah; and areas within 2.5 driving hours of Page, Arizona, serving NPS facilities. NAICS concentration centers on Specialized Automotive Repair (9 awards) and Automotive Body, Paint, and Interior Repair (9 awards), with significant work under Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing and related codes reflecting the electrical system integration scope. PSC alignment centers on installation and modification of vehicular equipment components (17 and 14 awards respectively), electrical vehicular lights, and fire and rescue safety equipment installation.
