Jennifer Bowling

Jennifer Bowling serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Washington, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize critical naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. She manages the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services under NAICS 236220, overseeing the full lifecycle of contracts from solicitation to award and performance oversight. Her work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring that naval facilities meet stringent resilience, safety, and energy-efficiency standards through integrated design-build and construction management solutions. She plays a central role in aligning procurement strategy with DoD infrastructure priorities, including climate-adaptive construction and facility modernization initiatives. Bowling maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Summer Consultants, Inc., and BKM Prime AE SB JV, LLC, reflecting a preference for established firms with proven expertise in federal facility construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and integrated project delivery models, fostering collaborative partnerships that prioritize quality, schedule adherence, and compliance with federal construction codes. She frequently engages contractors with demonstrated capacity in complex, multi-phase projects involving renovations, new construction, and infrastructure upgrades on active military installations. Her contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 40% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—equally split between Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate strategy to promote equitable access for small and disadvantaged businesses while maintaining competitive rigor. She actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate capacity among certified firms, ensuring diverse participation without compromising mission-critical outcomes. Her technical focus is exclusively on NAICS 236220, specializing in the procurement of commercial and institutional building construction services. This includes new construction, major renovations, and facility upgrades for naval barracks, administrative buildings, training centers, and support facilities. Her expertise lies in managing high-complexity construction contracts requiring coordination with architectural and engineering disciplines, environmental compliance, and federal construction standards under the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and Energy Policy Act requirements.
