Janice Bennett

Janice Bennett serves as a Contract Specialist at Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and optimize enterprise-wide administrative operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for professional, scientific, and technical services, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and DoD acquisition policies. Her portfolio primarily encompasses advisory, systems integration, and security services critical to sustaining DoD infrastructure and enabling digital transformation across headquarters functions. She works closely with program managers and acquisition teams to align contracting strategies with strategic priorities, emphasizing efficiency, transparency, and mission readiness. Bennett maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a consistent reliance on firms delivering high-value professional services, cybersecurity support, and facility modernization solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and service quality across complex, multi-year task orders. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of actions conducted without set-asides, while maintaining a robust 25% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster competition while actively supporting small business participation across the defense enterprise. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility under the total small business category. Her primary NAICS focus is 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting her specialization in consulting, systems analysis, and administrative support services, complemented by significant activity in 561621 (Security Systems Services). Her expertise lies in procuring technical advisory services, cybersecurity infrastructure, and facility operations support essential to DoD headquarters readiness and operational efficiency.
