Janice E. Heaton

Janice E. Heaton serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and infrastructure systems essential to operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on procuring precision instrumentation, environmental control equipment, and integrated security and communications systems that sustain airfield and range operations. She applies full lifecycle contracting expertise to ensure compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements, coordinating closely with technical stakeholders to align procurement strategy with mission-critical performance standards. Heaton maintains enduring relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including ROBERTS TREESCAPING, LLC for landscape and environmental mitigation services, THOMA-SEA MARINE CONSTRUCTORS, L.L.C. for facility infrastructure support, CYPRESS SOLUTIONS LLC for technical systems integration, and INTERCONNECT WIRING LLP for secure cabling and communications infrastructure. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven technical capability in niche aerospace and facility support domains, fostering reliable, performance-based contracting outcomes through long-term collaboration and stringent quality oversight. Her contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 90.5% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the specialized and often non-traditional nature of the requirements she manages. Nevertheless, she consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (9.5%), aligning with FAR 19.5 to enable qualified small firms to compete for technically demanding contracts that require niche expertise. Heaton’s procurement focus is concentrated in engineering services (NAICS 541330), testing laboratories and services (541380), and physical sciences R&D (541712), with additional activity in computer systems design (541512) and broader professional technical services (541990). She specializes in acquiring advanced analytical instruments, environmental monitoring systems, and mission-specific test and evaluation services, demonstrating deep technical fluency in aerospace systems support and facility sustainment domains.
