Doing Business with JBS

“JBS staff are real partners with us. They work very hard to satisfy [our needs] and actively seek solutions WITH us. They are professional and dedicated. They work to solve problems and challenges on our behalf.” —Project Officer, Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral Center, National Institute on Aging, National Institutes of Health

JBS has grown significantly from our early years, and this rapid growth continues. Expansion of our existing business base and entry into new markets have enhanced our position as a leader in strengthening health and social systems around the world. We are large enough to instill confidence in our capacity to deliver the high-quality services and products on which we have built our reputation and small enough to ensure that each client receives individualized attention.

Most of JBS’s awards are competitive, prime contractor awards. We are currently working on more than 70 task orders through Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts and General Services Administration (GSA) schedule contracts. These contracting vehicles enable Government agencies to quickly access JBS consulting services in a range of substantive and technical areas. We also accept Visa, MasterCard, and Government Purchase Cards.

Small Business Status: Although JBS has grown considerably over the years, we meet the small business designation for selected North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes for which we offer substantial expertise. Some of these codes include the following:

• 519130 Internet Publishing and Broadcasting and Web Search Portals
• 323 Printing and Related Support Activities (323110-323122)
• 541711 Research and Development in Biotechnology
• 541712 Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology)

These NAICS codes define a small business as one with 500 or fewer employees.
