New Jersey's Security Systems Services procurement is controlled by a narrow agency base: Department of the Navy and Washington Headquarters Services together account for 61% of all awards worth $25.3M in total obligated spending. This dual-agency dominance means contractors in New Jersey must build relationships with both to access the majority of contract dollars. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — SERNOTTI ELECTRICAL SERVICES LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., JOHNSON CONTROLS SECURITY SOLUTIONS LLC — hold 83% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.

Looking ahead, 5 Security Systems Services contracts in New Jersey are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $253.5M combined.
