She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supporting mission-critical procurement needs within her organization. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services and specialized manufacturing contracts, with a strong emphasis on engineering services and advanced instrumentation systems. Janssen’s work ensures timely delivery of technical capabilities essential to national priorities, balancing regulatory rigor with operational efficiency. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms specializing in engineering design, aerospace systems, and precision manufacturing. She cultivates relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering competitive bidding environments while maintaining strict adherence to source selection criteria. Her approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based contract management to ensure deliverables meet technical and schedule requirements. Janssen demonstrates a clear preference for unrestricted competitions, with 94.6% of her awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 4.5% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and 8(a) competed contracts, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals while prioritizing mission needs.
