Chelsey Jahn

Chelsey N. Jahn serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex professional services acquisitions, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and advancing mission-critical objectives. She plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts, with a focus on technical and engineering services. Her work supports the acquisition of specialized IT and professional services that enable operational efficiency and innovation, typically through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 15 procedures. While specific contractor names are not available, Jahn maintains a broad network of vendors specializing in custom software development, systems design, and technical consulting. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in federal IT environments, as well as agile small businesses capable of rapid response and tailored solutions. She fosters collaborative relationships with contractors through clear solicitation language, structured evaluation criteria, and consistent post-award oversight to ensure performance accountability. Jahn demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 87.5% of her acquisitions conducted as full and open competition without set-asides, and 12.5% awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic approach that prioritizes competition while intentionally creating opportunities for qualified small businesses to compete for federal contracts. Her pattern shows no reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, indicating a focus on broad-based small business participation rather than targeted socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), with additional activity in 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). She routinely acquires software development, systems integration, technical analysis, and specialized engineering support services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical requirements and performance standards of modern federal IT and engineering projects.
