Christopher Jennen

Christopher Jennen serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Southwest, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient infrastructure and facility services across the Southwest region. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and environmental remediation contracts, ensuring naval installations remain operationally ready through compliant, sustainable, and modernized facilities. His work centers on acquiring mission-critical services under FAR Part 36 and Part 19, with a strong emphasis on lifecycle support for aging infrastructure, utility systems, and environmental compliance programs. Jennen’s acquisitions directly enable naval readiness by securing technical expertise in facility operations and infrastructure resilience. Jennen maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, RSI AMENTUM ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, KIEWIT INFRASTRUCTURE WEST CO., and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach between large-capacity firms capable of complex construction and environmental remediation and smaller specialized vendors. His procurement patterns prioritize performance-based service delivery, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order contracting mechanisms to ensure responsive, scalable support across multiple installations. Jennen demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal weighting between no set-aside and 8(a) competed awards, and a dedicated 20% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition while ensuring meaningful participation from small disadvantaged businesses, aligning with Department of the Navy mandates for equitable access and vendor diversity. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), each accounting for 40% of his portfolio, with an additional 20% in remediation services (NAICS 562910). He routinely acquires facility operations, preventive maintenance, hazardous material handling, and utility system sustainment services, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-critical infrastructure lifecycle management.
