Jan K. Christensen

Jan K. Christensen serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Army’s 0409 AQ HQ Contract office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain operational readiness at U.S. Army garrisons and overseas installations. His portfolio centers on facility maintenance, specialized construction support, and critical infrastructure servicing—particularly in Europe and deployed environments. Christensen executes full lifecycle contracting actions, including solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. He plays a pivotal role in maintaining the resilience of military airfields, utilities, and logistics systems through timely and mission-critical procurement decisions. Christensen maintains established relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH Hausgeräte B.V., leveraging their technical capabilities in facility operations and specialized equipment servicing. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven track records in military infrastructure support. These partnerships are typically sustained over multiple contract vehicles, indicating a focus on performance reliability and continuity of service rather than frequent vendor rotation. Christensen’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and global vendor access rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the mission-critical and time-sensitive nature of the installations he supports. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, all procurements adhere to federal transparency and fair competition standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services) and NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), encompassing security operations, facility engineering support, and specialized technical consulting. Christensen’s expertise spans integrated facility management systems, perimeter security infrastructure, and mission-critical technical services essential to sustaining Army garrison operations in austere and high-demand environments.
