J&J Contractors Expands Client Portfolio through an MBDA Partnership
J&J Contractors, Inc., an MBDA client in fiscal year 2012, is a Massachusetts-based construction management and general contracting firm. J&J contacted the Boston MBDA Business Center to leverage the MBDA's extensive procurement relationships and expand their client portfolio.
The MBDA was instrumental in brokering a key meeting with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM). J&J subsequently secured a contract worth more than $13 million. As an added benefit, a white paper that J&J prepared prompted the DCAMM Commissioner to rewrite language describing laws related to construction to make it easier for companies like J&J to do business with the Commonwealth.
