Janel C. Wallace

Janel C. Wallace serves as a key procurement lead within the Commander (M00264), a Department of the Navy organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing naval warfighting capabilities. She manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical systems including command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and integrated sensor and communication platforms. Her portfolio emphasizes engineering services, custom software development, and specialized manufacturing to support operational readiness and cyber-enabled decision-making. Wallace ensures acquisitions align with DoD modernization priorities, balancing technical innovation with rigorous compliance and lifecycle support requirements. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GOLDBELT HAWK L.L.C., ALEX-ALTERNATIVE EXPERTS, LLC, TNDA TECHNOLOGIES INC., BC MARKET SOLUTIONS LLC, and BIOSPACE, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche technical providers with proven expertise in defense systems integration, systems engineering, and tailored IT solutions. Wallace fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting approaches, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures to ensure accountability and mission alignment. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 87.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. The remaining 12.5% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical capabilities. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, prioritizing technical suitability and delivery reliability over socioeconomic classifications. Wallace’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541330 (Engineering Services), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 334511 (Search and Navigation Systems Manufacturing), 334111 (Electronic Computer Manufacturing), and 332322 (Sheet Metal Work Manufacturing). She routinely procures advanced tactical computing hardware, embedded software systems, secure communication modules, and armored vehicle-integrated components, demonstrating deep expertise in naval electronics, defense-grade IT infrastructure, and mission-critical manufacturing.
