Government Contracting in New Jersey: Guide for Post-Acquisition Business Owners

New Jersey HUBZone areas include Atlantic City, portions of Camden, parts of Trenton, and select rural census tracts in the southern counties. The Camden-Philadelphia metro area HUBZone coverage extends into South Jersey — firms with a principal office in Camden County HUBZone areas can serve both the Philadelphia and New York federal markets.

New Jersey's federal market includes Picatinny Arsenal (weapons systems research), Naval Weapons Station Earle, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and significant civilian agency presence through proximity to Washington D.C. and New York. For acquisition buyers, the most accessible opportunities are professional services and IT for firms that can serve both the Philadelphia and New York federal markets simultaneously — New Jersey's geography makes dual-market coverage feasible for service businesses.
