PB & J Partners LLC

PB & J Partners LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Scottsdale, Arizona, operates overwhelmingly as a subcontractor (95% of recent awards) delivering specialized manufacturing, engineering, and technical services to defense and aerospace primes, with minimal prime contracting activity. The company holds a single recent prime contract — a $91,968 purchase order from the Naval Air Warfare Center issued February 17, 2026, for a gantry crane with ultimate completion July 31, 2026 — but derives the bulk of its federal footprint from sub-awards under major defense primes.

The subcontractor portfolio concentrates heavily under Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, which accounts for the majority of recent sub-awards across programs including the JANUS Project (current-carrying wiring device manufacturing), D6 TCID Hardware Development (fiber optic cable manufacturing), IGNITE (integrated hardware test bench for cyber-physical tools and exploits), B-2 Programmed Depot Maintenance, Hawkeye Sustainment, Enhanced Polar System Control and Planning Segment Sustainment, and the Advanced Technology Support Program. Notable secondary primes include Leidos, which engages PB & J on HR3DGI (High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Geospatial Information), Special Operations Command Tactical Airborne Multi-Sensor Platforms (STAMP), and related task orders; Science Applications International Corporation, deploying the vendor on Air Force Weather (AFW) system sustainment and GMASS programs; and BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services on the Instrumentation Range Support Program III. Award activity has accelerated sharply — two awards in 2022 to fifty-eight in 2025 — reflecting expanded engagement across Northrop Grumman and Leidos platforms.

The top five customer agencies by award count account for 60% of all awards, led by the Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center (20 awards), the Department of the Air Force (15 awards), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (11 awards), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (10 awards), and the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (8 awards). Customer concentration by potential value tells a different story: the Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command (3 awards, $312 thousand combined potential value) and the Naval Air Warfare Center (5 awards, $92 thousand combined potential value) anchor most of the disclosed dollar value, while the Air Force and DARPA programs carry lower per-award ceiling values. PB & J sits on the IDC FA460020D0002 (10 task orders), Advanced Technology Support Program IV (8 task orders), and several Navy Basic Ordering Agreements including N0001920G0005 (8 task orders) and N0001915G0026 (5 task orders). The capability footprint spans research and development in physical and engineering sciences (28 awards), engineering services (25 awards), aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (18 awards), and computer systems design (13 awards), grounded in hardware manufacturing, testing infrastructure, software sustainment, and technical consulting across defense platforms. Only one award ($92 thousand, Naval Air Warfare Center) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal near-term recompete exposure.
