Janet L. Olson

Janet L. Olson serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Northwest, a critical component of the Department of the Navy responsible for delivering mission-critical infrastructure to support naval readiness across the Pacific Northwest. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for construction, environmental, and facility support contracts, ensuring compliance with FAR and DoD acquisition regulations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, renovation, and utility modernization projects essential to naval base operations, including shipyard upgrades and energy resilience initiatives. She works closely with project engineers and environmental specialists to align contracting strategies with operational requirements and sustainability goals. Olson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including CONTRACK WATTS INC, ABSHER CONSTRUCTION CO, and ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT SERVICES, LLC, who regularly deliver specialized services in civil construction, environmental remediation, and infrastructure assessment. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical expertise in naval facility support, fostering long-term partnerships that ensure quality, compliance, and timely delivery of mission-essential work. She actively engages these contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions, prioritizing performance history and past performance evaluations. Her contracting approach reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB dominate her portfolio, she consistently leverages small business capabilities across multiple NAICS categories, demonstrating a balanced and intentional strategy to expand market access for qualified small firms. Olson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 485991 (Special Needs Transportation), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), 321992 (Prefabricated Wood Building Manufacturing), 488310 (Port and Harbor Operations), and 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services). She specializes in acquiring infrastructure services that support naval port operations, environmental compliance, and facility IT management, reflecting deep technical familiarity with DoD facility sustainment requirements and the unique logistical constraints of Pacific Northwest naval installations.
