Jean M. Olsen serves as Lead Contract Specialist for FA2550 50 Cons Pkp within the Department of the Air Force, where she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical aerospace and space systems, including satellite communications, precision electronic test instruments, and ground-based instrumentation infrastructure. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s strategic imperatives to modernize space domain awareness and sustain national defense capabilities. Her portfolio centers on complex engineering services contracts requiring technical rigor, risk mitigation, and rigorous source selection processes to support high-stakes defense operations. Olsen’s primary contractor relationships are with specialized engineering and technical service providers, including the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and Blue Skies Furniture LLC, though her focus remains on firms capable of delivering advanced technical solutions for aerospace systems. Her working relationships emphasize long-term partnership development with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability in supporting classified and sensitive defense programs. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Olsen consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, directing 75% of her acquisitions to small businesses.
