Jenna Highfill

Jenna Highfill serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7M6 Uspfo Activity Ilang 126, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical infrastructure at Scott Air Force Base and associated installations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition actions for facility maintenance, base modernization, and operational readiness projects, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and military installation standards. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, renovation, and support services vital to maintaining mission-critical infrastructure, including utilities, environmental systems, and building upgrades. She plays a pivotal role in translating mission requirements into compliant, efficient contract vehicles that support long-term readiness objectives. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Jenna consistently engages with a broad network of small business vendors, reflecting her agency’s exclusive reliance on small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a deliberate focus on fostering partnerships with small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms capable of delivering specialized facility services. She cultivates collaborative vendor relationships grounded in transparency, timely performance evaluations, and adherence to socioeconomic contracting goals, ensuring equitable access to federal opportunities. Jenna’s contracting approach is uniformly aligned with a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic diversity in federal contracting. All her acquisitions are structured to maximize participation from small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB-certified entities, without preference for any single category—emphasizing capability over size. This approach reinforces DoD’s broader mandate to strengthen the small business industrial base while advancing installation resilience. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—indicating specialized contracting for transient lodging, barracks modernization, and temporary housing support services essential to personnel readiness. This unique specialization underscores her expertise in managing accommodations infrastructure under military housing standards, blending facility management with operational tempo requirements.
