Janice Bennett

Janice Bennett serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Human Resources Activity, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic acquisitions that support the Department of Defense’s human capital modernization mission. She manages a diverse portfolio of professional services contracts focused on workforce development, administrative efficiency, and digital transformation initiatives, including learning platform modernization, training systems, and HR process automation. Her work ensures that human resources capabilities remain agile, compliant, and aligned with DoD-wide priorities for workforce readiness and operational excellence. Bennett maintains consistent procurement relationships with leading federal contractors including MullenLowe US Inc., Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., A-Team Solutions LLC, Weris, Inc., and Fors Marsh Group LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with deep expertise in human resources consulting, behavioral research, and organizational development services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and long-term vendor collaboration to deliver scalable, mission-critical solutions across the civilian and military workforce ecosystem. Her procurement patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.9% of awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, with approximately 12.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 3.2% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while meeting socioeconomic goals mandated by federal acquisition policy. Bennett’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), and 541910 (Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling), reflecting her specialization in human behavior analysis, workforce analytics, and strategic communications. She frequently procures services related to employee engagement studies, training effectiveness evaluations, and digital HR system implementation, demonstrating technical expertise in evidence-based human capital solutions.
