Janine Kimzey

Janine Kimzey serves as the primary procurement lead for the California Highway Patrol, overseeing the acquisition of critical support services essential to the agency’s statewide operational readiness. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on facility maintenance, equipment servicing, and infrastructure support services that directly enable law enforcement missions. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for non-tactical, mission-critical services such as HVAC system maintenance, uniform laundering, evidence storage facility upkeep, and towing operations for impounded vehicles. Kimzey ensures all procurements align with state and federal compliance standards while maintaining the CHP’s high standards for reliability and scalability in support operations. Kimzey works with a broad network of vendors specializing in building services and industrial equipment maintenance, including regional contractors with proven track records in public sector facility management. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms capable of delivering statewide, multi-site service delivery with rapid response capabilities. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, service level agreements, and vendor accountability to ensure uninterrupted support for field personnel and secure operational environments. Kimzey’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on capability and value over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing service quality, geographic coverage, and operational continuity. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, she maintains an inclusive evaluation process that allows qualified small and mid-sized vendors to compete on technical merit and service reliability. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). She specializes in acquiring custodial, environmental, and mechanical maintenance services for CHP facilities, including evidence lockers, vehicle maintenance bays, and administrative complexes. Her technical expertise centers on facility integrity, equipment lifecycle management, and service continuity in high-traffic, mission-critical environments.
