Jennifer M. Thompson

Jennifer M. Thompson serves as a Contract Specialist within Navfacsyscom Washington, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain and modernize naval infrastructure across the Pacific Northwest. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facilities support contracts, ensuring alignment with Department of the Navy strategic priorities in operational readiness, energy efficiency, and resilient building systems. Her acquisitions primarily involve complex, multi-disciplinary projects requiring coordination between engineering, environmental compliance, and facilities lifecycle management, often leveraging firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types to meet urgent and long-term infrastructure needs. Thompson maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key 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 naval facility projects. She frequently collaborates with joint ventures and small business prime contractors to deliver integrated design-build and construction management services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous contract administration, and proactive risk mitigation to ensure timely delivery of high-quality infrastructure solutions. A dedicated advocate for small business participation, Thompson consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing approximately 60% of her acquisitions to small business concerns. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition within the defense construction sector. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her reliance on small business primes underscores a commitment to broadening vendor participation and building a resilient, diverse contractor base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), each accounting for 40% of her activity, with additional emphasis on 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction). She specializes in procuring mechanical systems, specialty trade services, and integrated building construction for military installations, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with facility modernization standards, energy conservation measures, and federal construction codes.
