Janet L Harouch

Janet L. Harouch serves as a Contracting Officer at the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Systems and Experimental Warfare Center, where she manages complex acquisitions supporting the Department of the Navy’s advanced maritime research and operational readiness initiatives. Her portfolio encompasses technical contracts for experimental warfare systems, ocean infrastructure, and explosive effects analysis, requiring deep expertise in engineering services, specialized manufacturing, and scientific instrumentation. She plays a critical role in ensuring timely and compliant procurement of mission-critical technologies that enhance naval capabilities in undersea domains and naval installation resilience. Harouch maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of high-technical-capability vendors, including Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for oceanographic research and sensor systems, Sociedad Española de Montajes Industriales SA for specialized industrial assembly, and Emerging Compounds Treatment Technologies, Inc. for environmental remediation solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with research institutions and niche manufacturers capable of delivering customized, high-integrity systems under stringent defense standards. These partnerships reflect a preference for technically sophisticated, mission-aligned vendors with proven experience in naval and defense environments. Harouch’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technologies required, where only a limited pool of vendors possesses the requisite expertise in experimental warfare systems, turbine manufacturing, and marine engineering. While small business set-asides are not utilized, her office ensures all procurements adhere to statutory requirements for fair and transparent competition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include electrical contracting, turbine generator manufacturing, electronic component production, engineering services, and chemical wholesale distribution—all aligned with the development and sustainment of advanced naval systems. She routinely procures custom-engineered components, specialized testing equipment, and integrated environmental monitoring systems, demonstrating deep technical fluency in maritime defense innovation and infrastructure modernization.
