Janise Witten

Janise Witten serves as a Contract Specialist at W6QM Micc-JB Lewis-McChord under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain the operational readiness of Joint Base Lewis-McChord. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions centered on facilities support, specialty trade contracting, and professional technical services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning contracts with the base’s strategic goals of infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and energy efficiency. Her work directly supports the daily functionality and habitability of military and civilian personnel through timely, compliant, and cost-effective contracting solutions. Witten maintains a focused contracting relationship with the Port of Moses Lake as her primary contractor, leveraging its expertise in logistics and infrastructure support. While the majority of her awards are concentrated with this key partner, she also engages a broad network of smaller vendors to meet specialized service needs. Her working relationships are characterized by consistent collaboration, performance-based contract management, and a preference for vendors with proven track records in military installation support environments. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with an equal split between open competition and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes small business participation without relying on other set-aside programs, demonstrating a deliberate preference for broad-based small business engagement across multiple socioeconomic categories. Witten’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), supporting niche construction and maintenance tasks, followed by NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She routinely procures services such as grounds maintenance, utilities management, environmental remediation, and technical consulting, demonstrating deep expertise in sustaining military installation operations through integrated, mission-aligned contracting.
