Jan L. Beaver

Jan L. Beaver serves as a Purchasing Agent for the 693C73 Eastern Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, where she manages the acquisition of goods and services critical to maintaining transportation infrastructure on federally managed lands, including national forests and public rights-of-way. Her role centers on executing compliant, mission-driven procurements under FAR guidelines to support highway, bridge, and roadway projects that balance public access with environmental stewardship. She handles a diverse range of acquisitions—from construction and engineering services to technical consulting—ensuring alignment with federal land management priorities and sustainability goals. Beaver maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including ESTES BROS. CONST. INC., BLUEGRASS CONTRACTING CORP, BRYANT'S LAND AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRIES, INC., ECLIPSE COMPANIES, LLC, and ASPEN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with demonstrated capability in federal land infrastructure projects, particularly those skilled in right-of-way development, erosion control, and environmentally sensitive construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance history over transient vendor relationships. Her contracting patterns show a nearly even split between no set-aside and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate, balanced commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic focus on capability and capacity over socioeconomic designation, while still actively promoting small business involvement across eligible solicitations. Beaver’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), underscoring her expertise in securing technical services for geotechnical analysis, environmental impact assessments, and compliance monitoring. She also frequently procures computer-related services under NAICS 541519 and specialized business support under 813910, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the technical and administrative needs supporting federal land transportation projects.
