Jenna N. Schieltz serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, supporting mission-critical operations through timely and legally sound contracting actions. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical services and specialized manufacturing procurements, including research and development, industrial machinery, and laboratory testing services, often involving complex technical specifications and performance-based outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Jenna consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and mid-tier manufacturers, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and value. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, fairness, and adherence to statutory requirements, cultivating long-term vendor relationships grounded in compliance and performance accountability. She frequently collaborates with technical stakeholders to define clear statements of work and evaluation criteria that align with mission needs. Jenna demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 30% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on expanding economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns show minimal reliance on other socioeconomic categories, indicating a primary emphasis on broad small business inclusion rather than targeted programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach supports the government’s broader goal of increasing small business contract opportunities while maintaining competitive integrity. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Metal Coating and Engraving Services (332812), Physical and Engineering Research (541715), Industrial Machinery Manufacturing (333924), Aeronautical Instrument Systems (334511), and Testing Laboratories (541380).
