Jana R. Gipp

Jana R. Gipp serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement initiatives across technical and infrastructure domains. Her portfolio primarily includes service-based contracts requiring specialized expertise in engineering, environmental remediation, and utility systems, often involving complex technical specifications and performance-based outcomes. Gipp works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with agency objectives, ensuring timely and legally sound procurement actions. While specific contractor names are not available, Gipp maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across multiple sectors, engaging both large primes and small business subcontractors to fulfill diverse service needs. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to competition, favoring open market opportunities while actively promoting small business participation through structured set-asides. She routinely collaborates with contractors possessing specialized certifications and technical capabilities to deliver high-quality, compliant solutions. Gipp demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 80% of her awards issued under open competition and approximately 21% directed toward small business set-asides, including 15.8% total small business set-asides and 5.3% HUBZone set-asides. Her consistent use of these authorities reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition among qualified small businesses, particularly those certified under federal socioeconomic programs. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 221310 (Water Supply and Irrigation Systems), and 621111 (Offices of Physicians), with additional emphasis on remediation services (562910) and plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contracting (238220). This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring technical, environmental, and health-related services that require precise regulatory alignment and performance-based management.
