Jason Else

Jason Else supports the procurement mission of NAVFACSYSCOM Southeast by managing complex construction and infrastructure contracts critical to naval readiness across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. He oversees the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction, utilities, and base operations support services, ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy standards for resilience, sustainability, and mission continuity. His portfolio includes full-cycle contract management from solicitation through closeout, with emphasis on design-build, construction manager-at-risk, and performance-based service contracts that deliver mission-critical facilities under stringent regulatory and environmental constraints. He maintains longstanding relationships with top-tier federal contractors including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of executing large-scale, multi-trade projects. His contracting approach emphasizes contractor performance accountability, integrated project delivery models, and robust subcontractor oversight to ensure quality control and schedule adherence across geographically dispersed sites. While the majority of his acquisitions are competed without set-asides, he consistently integrates 8(a) certified small businesses into prime and subcontractor roles, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. His pattern reflects a balanced strategy—leveraging large contractors for scale and complexity while creating meaningful pathways for small business participation through teaming arrangements and subcontracts under 8(a) competed awards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in specialty trade contracting (238990), water and sewer infrastructure (237110), and highway and bridge construction (237310). He specializes in procurements requiring coordination of architectural, mechanical, electrical, and civil works, demonstrating deep technical expertise in facility lifecycle management and integrated infrastructure delivery systems.
