Statewide ranked opportunities and likely upcoming recompetes for facilities contractors across New Jersey.

Specialty Trades in New Jersey
In New Jersey, Specialty Trades Services procurement concentrates in two primary agencies: Department of the Navy (79%) and U.S. Coast Guard (7%). With 86% of 84 total awards between them and $4.1M in obligated spending, these agencies define the competitive landscape. Contractors should align their capability statements and teaming strategies to these agencies' acquisition preferences. On the vendor side, the market is incumbent-heavy: the top 3 contractors — J.L. DOBBS, INC., WOLEN, L.L.C., KUNJ CONSTRUCTION CORPORATION — hold 97% of recent awards, meaning new entrants face significant barriers unless targeting recompetes or set-asides.
Looking ahead, 6 Specialty Trades Services contracts in New Jersey are entering recompete windows, valued at an estimated $219.5M combined. Of these, 6 carry high takeover signals — meaning the incumbent's position is vulnerable based on the agency's historical vendor switching patterns. For contractors planning their New Jersey pipeline, these recompetes represent the highest-probability wins: existing requirements with defined scopes, incumbent performance data on record, and established funding lines.
