Jada Burrell

Jada B. Burrell serves as a Supervisory Contracting Officer responsible for overseeing complex acquisition programs within a federal agency, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation and promoting mission-critical procurement outcomes. In this leadership role, she guides a team of contracting professionals through the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—focusing primarily on heavy civil infrastructure and engineering services. Her expertise ensures that acquisitions align with agency objectives while upholding transparency, competition, and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, Burrell maintains a robust network of vendors specializing in civil construction and related professional services. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, encouraging teaming arrangements that enhance capability and capacity. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and post-award oversight to ensure delivery of high-quality, safe, and durable public infrastructure. Burrell demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with over two-thirds of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes small business participation, leveraging set-aside authorities to create opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally-based firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand the government’s vendor base and promote equitable access to federal contracts. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing projects such as roads, bridges, dams, and public works systems. She also manages select acquisitions under NAICS 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices), indicating a secondary need for real estate and land transaction services. Burrell’s technical domain expertise centers on large-scale civil engineering projects requiring specialized engineering oversight, environmental compliance, and public safety standards.
