Jennifer Lau

Jennifer Lau supports the procurement mission of Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii by managing engineering and architectural services contracts critical to sustaining and modernizing naval infrastructure across the Hawaiian Islands. She plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions aligned with the agency’s strategic priorities of operational readiness, energy resilience, and facility modernization. Her portfolio primarily consists of professional services under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), encompassing design, planning, construction oversight, and technical consulting for military installations. Her work ensures that facility upgrades meet Department of the Navy standards for durability, sustainability, and mission compatibility. Lau maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering and architectural expertise tailored to military environments. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in DoD facility projects, including compliance with Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and Naval Engineering Standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and adherence to lifecycle cost principles, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Lau’s procurement activities reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of business size or certification status, prioritizing mission-critical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all solicitations are structured to ensure fair and transparent competition under full and open competition guidelines. Her technical domain centers on infrastructure resilience, with a primary focus on civil, structural, and systems engineering services supporting naval bases, airfields, and utility networks. She routinely procures design-build, design-bid-build, and integrated project delivery services that integrate energy efficiency, water conservation, and seismic retrofitting into facility modernization programs.
