S.j. Thomas Co., Inc.

S.J. Thomas Co., Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business headquartered in Syracuse, New York, is a general construction contractor operating as a prime on federal facilities repair, renovation, and design-build projects, with 98% of its recent awards as prime contractor (138 of 141 awards). The vendor's work spans commercial and institutional building construction (NAICS 236100), electrical system repairs (NAICS 272350), and highway and bridge construction (NAICS 237310), with strong presence on General Services Administration (GSA) Public Buildings Service Region 2 vehicles.

S.J. Thomas is heavily concentrated with GSA PBS Region 2, which accounts for 82% of awards and 90% of combined potential value ($552.7 million across 49 delivery orders). The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command represents the second-largest customer by award count (49 awards, $11.9 million combined potential value), followed by GSA PBS (5 awards, $10.6 million) and the Department of the Air Force Air National Guard (5 awards, $9.2 million). The divergence between volume and dollars reflects GSA PBS's heavy weighting toward large regional infrastructure and facilities projects versus smaller Air Force maintenance orders. The vendor has worked with 19 distinct federal agencies across the portfolio, but PBS Region 2 concentration creates material recompete exposure: eight awards totaling $16.2 million in combined potential value reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months.

The vendor's primary vehicle is the PBS R2 General Construction and Design-Build Construction Services IDIQ ($500 million ceiling, GSA), from which 33 task orders carry $48.1 million in combined potential value. S.J. Thomas also holds a single-award $7 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of the Army Installation Management Command Northeast Region for general construction services at Fort Drum, New York, supporting roofing, mechanical, plumbing, and facility maintenance work. The Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract FA448413D0010 anchors 48 task orders but carries only $2.4 million in combined potential value, indicating small individual maintenance orders rather than major projects.

Recent representative work includes a $5.054 million HUBZone delivery order from Customs and Border Protection (January 2026) for Rochester facility renovation under PBS R2, a $10.797 million full-and-open delivery order from PBS Region 2 (December 2024) for paving and general construction at Champlain Land Port of Entry, a $3.444 million delivery order from GSA PBS (July 2023) for the Kenneth B. Keating Federal Building fire alarm replacement in Rochester, and a $1.094 million total-small-business delivery order from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (December 2023) for office consolidation at the Leo W. O'Brien Federal Building in Albany. Work on the Keating Building security upgrades ($4.271 million ceiling, awarded April 2023) included named subcontractors: Lupini Construction (masonry), Alliance Door and Hardware, Ajay Glass & Mirror, Grayco Corp of Upstate New York, Hewitt Young Electric, Associated Fire Protection, Imperial Door Controls, and Erie Mechanical Contractors (HVAC).

S.J. Thomas competes under mixed set-aside posture: roughly half of recent awards carry HUBZone set-asides or total-small-business designations, the remainder full-and-open. SCI-reported invoiced revenue totaled $18.1 million across FY2022–FY2024 ($5.1 million in FY2022, $3.3 million in FY2023, $9.7 million in FY2024), with reported FTE delivery scaling from zero in FY2023 to 8.6 FTEs in FY2024. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, government-paid hourly rates ranged from $197.09 at the 10th percentile to a median of $608.41/hr, with senior labor and specialized services reaching $3,844.74/hr at the 90th percentile. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed 13% of total contractor hours, with five named subs identified across the reportable portfolio. Activity has been volatile: thirteen awards in 2023, two in 2024, five in 2025, and three in 2026 year-to-date, suggesting uneven task order flow from the parent vehicles rather than steady growth. The vendor remains operationally dependent on PBS Region 2 continuation and recompete success; loss of that vehicle would materially affect the business.
