Jennifer Elaine Doherty

Jennifer Elaine Doherty serves as a Contract Specialist with Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFACSE) under the Department of the Navy, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for mission-critical infrastructure support services. Her role is central to enabling naval readiness by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition of facilities operations, maintenance, and base support capabilities across the Southeastern U.S. and overseas operational areas. She routinely handles complex service contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with a focus on performance-based acquisition methods and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to support dynamic operational requirements. Doherty maintains established working relationships with key contractors including BL Harbert International LLC, Walsh Federal LLC, Sauer Construction, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Kira Aviation Services LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on long-term service delivery for facility operations, security, and environmental support, reflecting a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capability in government-contracted environments. Her contracting approach emphasizes accountability, performance metrics, and contractor sustainment of mission-critical infrastructure. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent, though limited, commitment to socioeconomic programs—specifically 8.3% each to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad market access while prioritizing mission needs. Doherty’s primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing custodial, groundskeeping, waste management, and facility maintenance. She also procures related services under NAICS 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), and 561990 (Other Support Services), demonstrating deep expertise in integrated base operations support and environmental compliance contracting.
