JBA

What JBA does

JBA is a small, privately held US information technology firm founded in 1998, headquartered in Springfield, with a headcount in the 11-50 range. Its functional scope covers hardware and software engineering, cyber operations, and IT services. The company's most prominent identified work has been supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation, including IT consolidation initiatives and the secure delivery of classified systems across multiple US locations. The firm also extended its footprint into the United Kingdom, joining in November 2023 as one of eight delivery partners in the Environment Agency's Decarbonisation Technology Accelerator (DTA) programme, where it works alongside larger infrastructure primes (Arup, AtkinsRéalis, Bam, Jacobs, Jackson, Kier, and VolkerStevin) on low-carbon themes spanning modern methods of construction, concrete, steel, and earthworks optimisation, contributing to a stated national target of 55,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent savings by 2030.

JBA's business model is anchored in government contracting: it generates revenue by providing cleared engineering, cyber, and IT services to federal agencies, with the FBI appearing to be the dominant end-customer. The firm is led by James Burchill as President and Chief Executive Officer. In November 2025, JBA was acquired by TekSynap Corp., a federal mission support contractor, in a deal explicitly framed as expanding TekSynap's federal portfolio and strengthening FBI program support. Following the acquisition, JBA operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of TekSynap and is no longer an independent entity, with prior ownership structure (founder- or PE-backed) undisclosed in available sources. No revenue, pricing, or productised offering details are publicly available.
