Penns Contracting Inc.

Penns Contracting Inc., a small business prime contractor based in Franklin, New Jersey, delivers construction, facilities maintenance, and environmental remediation services to the federal government, with a footprint dominated by Bureau of Prisons capital projects and on-call maintenance across Department of the Army and Department of Veterans Affairs northeastern installations. All 62 awards in the source data are prime contracts; the vendor competes exclusively under total small business set-asides, holding no unrestricted full-and-open awards. The company operates as a for-profit corporate entity with no SBA certifications beyond small business status.

Penns Contracting's capability portfolio centers on asbestos and lead-based paint abatement, roof replacement and repair, structural repairs, utility infrastructure work, and facilities remediation. Representative prime work includes a $12.86 million total small business set-aside definitive contract awarded by Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale in April 2026 for replacement of approximately 47,000 square feet of ceiling, 115,000 square feet of standing seam metal roofing, and 30,200 square feet of modified bituminous roofing at FCC Oakdale in Louisiana, scheduled for completion in March 2028; a $9.28 million total small business set-aside contract from BOP Field Acquisition Office in October 2023 for roof replacement and mold remediation at FCC Oakdale, with contractor-proposed modifications adding soffit and facia assessment work; and a $3.92 million stairwell replacement contract from BOP Field Acquisition Office in September 2023 for the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas. Smaller on-call work includes a $141,900 asbestos abatement order from Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Integrated Service Network 2 for Manhattan facilities and multiple BPA calls ranging from $28,000 to $67,350 for asbestos and lead abatement at U.S. Military Academy West Point.

Customer concentration tilts heavily toward the Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons, which accounts for 77% of combined potential value across recent awards. Within that customer, Federal Correctional Complex Oakdale anchors three awards worth $16.8 million combined, and BOP Field Acquisition Office drives another two awards totaling $13.2 million. The Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region ranks second by award count (11 awards, $1.3 million combined potential value), primarily through small BPA task orders for environmental remediation at West Point. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of the Interior, and Department of the Air Force together complete the active set. The vendor serves 34 distinct customer agencies overall, but concentration is acute: the top five customers account for 77% of potential value.

Penns Contracting holds primary positions on four Blanket Purchase Agreements — the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region's $250,000 single-award BPA for emergency roof repair services (awarded April 2024, running through April 2029) and three legacy BPAs (W911SD20A0016, W911SD17A0006, FA489716D3002) that have generated four task orders totaling $218,000 combined potential value. The vendor does not sit on government-wide vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs. Recent activity shows a declining trajectory relative to the 2023–2024 period: two awards in 2026 versus four in each of 2023 and 2024. However, two awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $13.4 million, representing recompete risk. Work falls predominantly under NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services, 30 awards) and PSC Z2FF (Repair or Alteration of Penal Facilities, 20 awards), with secondary clusters in roofing, site preparation, and plumbing contractors. Place of performance for many awards lists Sparta, New Jersey as the administrative base, though execution occurs at federal facilities nationwide, with current heavy focus on Louisiana, Texas, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania facilities.
