About the company
JR Merit, Inc., a small business based in Vancouver, Washington, performs hydroelectric infrastructure rehabilitation and marine vessel fabrication work for federal agencies as a prime contractor (61% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor on navy shipbuilding programs. The company competes predominantly under total small business set-asides for its infrastructure work and full-and-open for its marine fabrication sub-awards.
JR Merit's core capability is rehabilitating and modernizing federal water resource infrastructure—dams, powerhouses, intake gates, and associated hydraulic and electrical systems. Recent prime work includes a $20.4 million firm fixed-price definitive contract awarded September 26, 2025, by the Army Corps of Engineers for Lower Granite Intake Gate hydraulic system upgrades at Pomeroy, Washington, with ultimate completion April 30, 2028; a $9.33 million contract awarded February 15, 2025, by USACE Seattle District for Chief Joseph Dam Powerhouse sump pump and controls upgrades at Bridgeport, Washington, completing August 1, 2027; and a $4.08 million contract awarded September 22, 2026, by the Bureau of Reclamation for coating rehabilitation of the Stampede Outlet Works pipe, penstocks, butterfly valves, and turbines at Willows, California, with ultimate completion May 23, 2028. A fourth prime award from October 2022—a $15.1 million contract for Chief Joseph Dam Station Service Units turbine and generator primary component refurbishment—is nearing completion June 7, 2026.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward federal water and power infrastructure operators. The Army Corps of Engineers (including the Seattle and Portland Engineering Districts) anchors the prime portfolio with $24.4 million across three awards, followed by the Army's main contracting entity at $20.4 million and the Bureau of Reclamation at $4.1 million. The top customers by award count include the Department of Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (8 awards, largely sub-awards) and the Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service (6 awards). Across 33 total awards, prime and sub combined, JR Merit serves 11 distinct federal agencies.
The vendor participates in the Indefinite Delivery Contract W56HZV17D0086 as a subcontractor, placing 11 task orders under that vehicle. Those sub-awards are marine fabrication work—pipe spool fabrication, handrail fabrication, and auxiliary sea water cooling production booklet work—performed under Vigor Works LLC on low-rate initial production contracts for Navy vessels. Activity has accelerated in the past two years: one award in 2022, two in 2021, then six in 2025 and eight in 2026. Three awards with combined potential value $33.8 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure on two significant Corps of Engineers dam-modernization contracts. The vendor's footprint spans the top NAICS categories Ship Building and Repairing (11 awards, reflecting the Vigor sub-work) and Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (5 awards), with combined potential value across all awards of $52.9 million and $42.7 million already obligated.
