Jackie Jenkins

Jackie Jenkins serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional construction services critical to the preservation and modernization of national park infrastructure. Responsible for managing full lifecycle contracting actions, Jenkins ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to rehabilitate historic structures, upgrade utility systems, and enhance visitor facilities across ecologically sensitive and remote landscapes. Her portfolio is exclusively focused on construction-related procurements under NAICS 236220, encompassing new builds, renovations, and infrastructure restoration projects requiring specialized expertise in historic preservation and sustainable construction practices. Jenkins maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a select group of highly qualified contractors, including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated experience in federal environmental compliance, historic structure rehabilitation, and complex site development in protected areas. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical proficiency, past performance evaluation, and collaborative project delivery methods such as design-build and construction manager-at-risk. All of Jenkins’ acquisitions are fully set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a firm commitment to socioeconomic equity and workforce development. She consistently awards contracts to small business concerns, ensuring that local and regional firms with niche capabilities in park infrastructure support have equitable access to federal opportunities. This approach strengthens community resilience and fosters a pipeline of qualified small business contractors experienced in federal environmental and historic preservation standards. Her technical domain expertise centers on NAICS 236220, with procurements focused on the construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of visitor centers, ranger stations, utility systems, and culturally significant structures. Jenkins specializes in acquisitions requiring integration of historic preservation guidelines, ADA accessibility standards, and sustainable building practices, ensuring that all projects align with the National Park Service’s mission of stewardship and public access.
